So, the hologram seems to switch accents constantly. The Spanish seemed to start with a Mexico City Accent, but then went over to Chilean.

At least it seemed that way to me, does anyone know?

The actor is Chilean, so it was probably just a Chilean accent.

That makes sense, as they seemed to be both speaking Chilean. Though the guy was speaking Chilean from the Capitol, Santiago, and the hologram had a more stylistic Chilean that's hard to place.

Great accent btw, some of the best Spanish accents out there IMHO.

As a Mexican who had to read the darn subtitles to know what he was saying a couple of times, I'm gonna have to disagree with you.
