My girl called it a troll movie
I'm likeyou don't get tired of the typical happy ending where the white girl will make it alive? If not the white girl then the white male?
*waits for sig update*I dug it. Wish they would have refrained from letting Calvin grow into something with a "face" though. The design for the first half of the movie was much more interesting.
That last overhead shot was though
Looking back
I know the alien was smart, but did it know gyllenhal and the other lady's plan? Calvin ripped Jakes hand off the joystick so he couldn't fly into deep space
I enjoyed the experience of watching this movie
But afterwards, the more I thought about the worse it seemed. The plot is just overly convoluted in favour of Calvin. Every little thing that had to go its way just did.
The ending had me like WTF? too. How did Jake's pod end up on Earth? We clearly saw the dude directing and moving his pod away from the planet. You telling me Calvin knew how to pilot that fukking thing and re-directed it?
I kind of don't mind that the white woman went flying off into space cause we did see her hitting some debris but then again, when her screen came back on, it showed she was still on course to make it back, so yeah...ending felt pretty cheap to me.
How will Calvin even move around on Earth? Will it be restricted to the oceans? Unless it's in a state of evolution and that wasn't its final form.
That fukking scientist dude pissed me off too, talking about "He doesn't hate us, he's just doing what he must to survive"
Worst death for me was probably a tie between Reynolds and that lady who drowned in her helmet .
What they did well though was show how "human" the characters were. Besides Reynolds and Jake at the end there was nobody trying to be hero. I mean dudes wouldn't hesitate to shut the door on you or ditch your ass if Calvin latched on to you, on some "sorry, breh " tip.
The cast too was pretty believable too. I like that they were all in their 30s - 50's and there was no obvious eye-candy casting. Although I thought that Russian lady who drowned in her helmet was quite something, if I'm being honest
Overall, I would give it a generous 6/10
That's what bugs me most about the ending. For me it was a big load of . How the fukk could it have been smart enough to know what he was doing, then actively reroute it for earth? Because it certainly didn't hear their plan.
Now if we're supposed to believe it was smart enough to pilot a space shuttle within 2 minutes of being inside it, surely it would have been smart enough to communicate with the crew after being onboard the ship for a few weeks and overhearing their other conversations.
*waits for sig update*
Deciding between this and Kong tomorrow
fukk it I might double feature. New temporary work schedule been kicking my ass. I haven't seen anything since LoganLife is better....but man Kong has some fukking spectacular visuals and action sequences. If you'll miss Kong in theaters otherwise, see that.

I agree about it bring way to smart but I dont think he piloted it towards Earth. He just grabbed his hands on some "fukk what you doing" shyt
Why was that a problem? I'm just trying to figure out why people don't like an alien to be smarter than the crew.Thats how you end a fukking movie
Really liked the design of the martian.
Only gripe was this thing was way to smart
Not really a problem.....Why was that a problem? I'm just trying to figure out why people don't like an alien to be smarter than the crew.
I wouldn't really call it a plot hole considering it's a movie about an intelligent alien with evil intentions. There's no realistic scale to say just how intelligent or observant an alien is.Not really a problem.....
But when Cal was trying to get out the glove it immediately tried cutting its way out. How does it even know to do that
It didn't take away from the movie, just a lil plot hole.

Mutha fukka was staring at him like "fukk is you doing ....Let it go.:sushomer:I said let it.....go. "I agree about it bring way to smart but I dont think he piloted it towards Earth. He just grabbed his hands on some "fukk what you doing" shyt
Yeah but when the cells first started forming they mentioned that his body is all brain and simultaneously all muscle. Add in the fact that he was interacting with his environment almost immediately was there way of suggesting that we should extrapolate as he grew.Not really a problem.....
