I was sat next to this (noisy) person in the theater who was pointing out every little detail of the film like

I wonder what wild ass theories were floating in their head then. Probably typing them all out on the keyboard as we speak. :wow:

Cornfields, cows, & an one stoplight town
It was cool. As far as alien movies go I thought it did some really interesting things. There's a message about predators here that I want to think more about. Definitely contributes to the genre. Some great suspense in the middle and awesome shots. The scene with the house was :banderas:

My criticism is that the pacing and dialogue felt a little off. When I watch it again, I'm going to have to put on the subtitles. Daniel mumbled all of his lines so not sure I caught everything. With flat affect & inaudible muttering his character really got on my nerves. Thank goodness for Keke Palmer.

What I really appreciate though is that Peele keeps trying new types of stories. And you can tell he's a real student of film. Still I feel like this is uneven, so I'd give it a 7.5/10.

If I were grading it as an exam I’d give it a B. If I did the # / 5 system I think 3 is too low but 4 seems high? But the movie had me suspenseful and I enjoyed it so I’ll give it a 4/5. When I get back home and read more on y’all thoughts and the YouTube analysis videos I’ll dive in more.

I’m trying to figure out the deeper meaning. I think Daniel and Keke killed it tho. I give it an 8/10.

I feel like Daniel nor Keke even had to act. I will say the pacing is kinda random tho. Every chapter split by animal name…

Man where do I start….

- The film is vague as hell. I went into the film purposely evading all of the trailers and plot descriptions online just to see this with no judgment, and I honestly can’t give a solid description besides “invasion hits a couple of black ranchers”

- Keke Palmer was the star of this film, she was by far the best actor onscreen. Daniel K. Was one dimensional as hell emotion wise. but I kinda feel like that was on purpose

- The film wasn’t exactly bad, but I can’t give it the stamp of approval either. It was shot well and acted well, but story wise, I feel like it’s lacking a bit of substance.

- I feel like we’re on a little decline from Jordan Peele’s first film to now. This had all the potential in the world, but didn’t stick the landing. Get Out > Us > Nope

Bruh I don’t know what he was trying to do accent wise, but it clearly wasn’t working. He’s a UK bruh, maybe he couldn’t do a good country accent? He was a charisma vacuum to me, Keke carried this
