I sooooo wanted to love this film, I was excited all day to see it, John Williams?! Spielberg??? Alien epic?!?! YES YES
But as I filed out of the packed cinema with everyone else walking in stony unsure silence my first words were “well that wasn’t what I expected” and by that I expected it to be good
i actually found it bad
Emily blunt was exceptional I will say that, I enjoyed it when she started speaking other languages and had hope it would be deliciously mysterious happenings like that to come….
I also like the way the aliens, when we got to see them for the 2 minutes they were in the film, walked…and I liked their fingers
thats it for things I liked unless you count how much I enjoyed Josh O’Connors stealth mode in hiding behind a 2 foot slatted fence with gaping gaps in it 2 yards away from 50 military guys not trained to look around.
can we seriously not get a real fox to sit and walk? No? Let’s make one that looks ridiculous, same with the deer, and the bird, I was completely removed from the whole film every time cgi made an appearance.
car chase, car chase, car being dragged FAR TOO LONG by a high speed train, like that guy would miss shooting them from there too
no chemistry between the characters, I know what the film wanted me to feel, what messages it was going for, but if I don’t feel them then what’s the point
anyone else feel the same?
