Big disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (14 April 2018)

First of all: This was ment to be an adaptation of a piece of literature, the frst book of Area X - the Southern Reach - Trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer. In this respect the movie completely fails. The writers of the screenplay try to interprete a highly complex story and solve the riddles of a weird surreal SF-novel which prominent quality is to stay mysterious and unsolvable.
When they got their weak explanation together they reinvented the whole thing according to their interpretation, not according to the book!
So if you expect to get something just near the visions of Jeff Vandermeer you´ll be horribly dissappointed.
If you expect something else you´ll probably get something quite unsatisfying as well, wrapped in a real cheesy production design. At least, Natalie Portman and her male counterpart do a good job.
