Just got back. This shyt was fire. Felt like an old school cinema experience. Saw it in IMAX and the movie has some beautiful night lighting and landscape. The story was pretty good. My only minor complaint was Keke's character was almost over the top and annoying. This is not out there and over people heads like Get Out or Us, so people shouldn't even compare them. It's straight forward and it's great the way it is. I'd advise people see it in theaters.

edit: See it theaters for the SOUNDS. the sound added so much to this movie.

100 percent, saw it in Dolby digital had me shook

High-mid movie for me. I don't regret going to see it like I did with the Pet Sematary remake.
But....

Jordan Peele has talent and his ideas are amazing but his movies are literally coasting on the deeper subtext and metaphors behind his films plots

Spoiler

I was getting a feeling that the "ship" or whatever was going to make the animals turn against the humans. Especially since they opened it up with that Cesar/Gordy shot.

I definitely wished for a more frightening looking alien though. I was more freaked out by the fake aliens than the real one. shyt, even the chimp was scarier than that Final Fantasy X looking ass thing.

I recommend though, it's definitely a unique film and hopefully gets other filmmakers inspired to keep making modern original sci-fi/horror stuff.

Peele still hasn't missed yet

Spoiler

so was he buying the horses from OJ to feed to the alien for the last 6 months? And he had been doing that and assuming it would only eat the 1 horse but since it was starving it fukked everybody up? Ok

I can rock with that explanation about camera guy. It just seemed weird.


And what was the point of getting it on film? I get it for proof but the entire plot just seemed to be record it and then… that’s it. Show the world. Make some money?

Yes they were trying to record it to get money. They explicitly said this throughout the movie, so I’m certain of that.

Saw it in IMAX, sound mixing wasn't great. And no matter how good the sound was, it can't compensate for mumbled dialogue.

Why the fukk they

Spoiler

waste Keith David like that?

Also

Spoiler

explain why the Asian guy knew about the alien but he didn’t know it was gonna eat them

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

Spoiler

what the fukk was up with the camera man just walking into the alien to end his life like that?

I can answer your second question

Spoiler

His traumatic encounter with that killer monkey made him believe he could tame a predator. He thought he was blessed or gifted with some sort of ability to connect with dangerous things. Maybe he was because he was able to work with it until it got really hungry.

 

[God Of Art]

I for sure need a second watch on this. Why was OJ so calm throughout everything? Decent movie, not better than Get Out or Us though. I’m curious how all of the main characters avoided any danger as well, I feel like I missed something.

Working with horses. OJ daddy was teaching him about patience and dealing with territorial animals....hence his Tarantino dialogue-esque troupe from this film. All his dialogue in this flick had meaning.

No. AMC dine in theaters don't all have IMAX or Dolby.

 

[8WON6]

So did the ship arrive over the studio and make the ape go wild



I need more Gordy backstory


Don’t they send monkeys into outer space

Spoiler

the gordy story was there just to explain why Glen thought he knew the alien.

 

[Rell Lauren]

What's this movie about? The plot isn't on Wiki.

In short, It's about animal exploitation, our relationship with nature, and how we think we can control it.
