First movie I walked out of in 15 years - twisted movie making

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2018)

I am truly mystified by the positive reviews for this film. I love sci-fi and like dark, cerebral movies so I thought I would like this film especially when I saw the great reviews.
This movie is not dark - it is in a league below dark. Adjectives like grungy, slimy, dank, grimy & twisted in the worst way come to mind. It is fundamentally depressing right from the start.
None of the characters are likeable or believable under those circumstances except for Natalie Portmans character but let's face it she is one of the most dreary A list actresses there is.
The way the anomaly is dealt with both from the outside and the inside by the characters is insultingly unrealistic.
I like films which try to be clever - I even liked the movie The Arrival quite a bit however this is just pretentious mental masturbation. If you can't think of a good new novel idea for a movie then don't try and pass a brain fart like this movie off as such please.
The bad signs were all there right from the start but I kept waiting hoping things would pick up but the movie stayed consistently drab and uninspired.
To make things worse even some of the action/battle sequences were ruined by just making them unnecessarily gory and disgusting - it was if the director was doing everything and everything to he could to slime you.
The movie was like this guy's last movie Ex Machina but even more pointless and depressing.
The movie reminded me very much of the Darren Aronofsky films I've been unfortunate enough to watch such as the Fountain, the Wrestler (before I switched that off too) and Noah (didn;t make it past the 15 minute mark). His movie style similarly just have this deeply disturbing, nauseating and depressing feel to them.
I guess if you liked Ex Machina, and you're a Darren Aronofsky fan you'll like this movie.
If not and I even save one such person from watching this film I'll feel I've done a moral service!
I guess I'm an empathic person and the vibe of this movie is very distasteful - I can only guess the people who like this movie just are not perceiving the sick energy that permeates this film. Rant over.
