Just seen it. Not my cup of tea.

The nail in the coffin for me was

Spoiler

the creature being destroyed by a giant balloon.

Even a grand and intimidating entity like Jean Jacket can fall in the silliest, most unceremonious ways. It really do be like that in life.

I liked the camera work and color grading

The trailer imo is what is causing the divide. It’s making viewers believe it’s going to be different genre altogether….with that said, the movie is great. I like it even more than Get Out.

How is a statement like this even remotely possible?

I was fukking with the movie heavy when the kids popped up dressed like aliens, before they were revealed as costumes.

It would have been lit if OJ shot one of those kids and fed the body to the alien.

I can definitely see why, that’s why I’m throwing daps to both sides. There’s a tonal shift towards the middle that makes it feel like two separate films, and the concept twist with the alien alone can have folks feeling iffy. I loved it personally.

I think Peele could’ve easily taken this film in a darker direction, horror-wise, in the last act but I’m happy with the fun thriller we ended up getting. It’s a genre-bender that gave me the best of both worlds and a lot of the times I admired just how well Jordan can build up suspense in his scenes. Cast and its story towards the end showcased a lot of heart on some Spielberg ish, which felt pretty fitting for a summer blockbuster.

It felt like an ode to Spielberg's summer blockbusters, especially "Jaws" and "War of the Worlds." Felt like there was a lil "ET" and "Goonies" in there too. JP paying tribute to a legend a la JJ Abrams with "Super 8."

Baby Angela Bassett is only 29?

They were setting that up via the filmmakers scenes, he kept watching predators get taken out by "lesser" creatures (lion got got by a snake, king crab by a small octopus or something).

Really enjoyed this movie, different take on UFO

It def gave me speilberg jaws/Jurassic park vibes

The chimpanzee story was scarier than the main creature.

 

[kdslittlebro]

Maybe I was just skeptical, but I knew it was too early in the movie and too obvious with typical ass grey men for that to be the reveal. I’m glad too tf I wanna see the same aliens from the past 70 yrs for. These mf’s got an emoji
