ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING FILMS I HAVE EVER SEEN

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2018)

A biologist signs up for a dangerous mission, where the laws of nature don't apply.
This film is written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina). It stars Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) and Tessa Thompson (Creed).
This film is fantastically interesting, it makes me want to watch it again and again till I understand all the elements of the story, I love films like that, for example 2001: A space odyssey (1968). Portman is brilliant as always she is a biologist trying to find out what happened to her husband. Garland shows yet again that he can direct as well as write, actually in my opinion the direction overshadowed the writing, this film is gorgeous to look at. This story is very interesting, the third act especially is mind boggling. Also the special effects were on par with some Hollywood blockbusters and the score by Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina) and Ben Salisbury (Ex Machina). is sumptuous and Hypnotizing.
Sadly no film is perfect, the other cast is no where near as good as Portman, especially Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina), who attempts an accent and doesn't pull it off. Finally, the actual words these characters say are quite by the numbers and aren't very interesting, there is no line in particular that stands out to me.
Very interesting, If you like films don't give you all the answers and have to make you think. Check this one out.
