A No From Me

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2020)

It tries to be intellectual but comes up short. Nice idea but failed in the execution. Nice to see female leads but send in scientists and the marines. I like Garland because of Dredd and will keep an eye out for more of his work until I decide he's trying to be too intellectual for his own good but coming up short. I did not think Ex Machina was all it was hyped to be.
It was slow, beautiful and I enjoyed the sound design but all these parts didn't add up to make a coherent and thought provoking movie with nothin entirely explained.
It's a no from me. Watch Arrival instead.
It's one of those movies where people who love it think it has some profound meaning and will look down upon you because you just didn't get how intelligent and thought provoking it was. As another reviewer said : Emperors New Clothes.
