Sorry excuse for an allegorical movie

Rating: 1/10 (8 August 2018)

This movie attempts to use shock-value to distract people from how meaningless and confusing the "plot line" is, if you can even consider this movie to have one. Literally sat through the entire movie uncomfortable, and wondering what was going on, and while I waited patiently for answers, I was surprised by a whole sequence of madness and sheer nonsense. While it made an attempt at being an allegory with God and mother nature, it couldn't even keep in line with that in anyway and just sort of did it's own thing, like it was purposefully taunting me with confusion. I couldn't help but laugh and throw my arms up in confusion when I was left with nothing at the end. I feel like I relate heavily to the series of feelings Jennifer Lawrence's character went through: confused as all hell, begging for answers, then just begging for everything to stop, and finally just saying screw it and just blowing the whole thing up. Even while I relate to her in these ways, I still manage not to feel anything for her character at all as the movie never really gives me a reason to. To top it all off, the ending leaves us with this woman (who we still know nothing about) burnt to a crisp with some truly garbage CGI, once again leaving me with no reason to feel anything at all. This movie tried to destroy my spirit.
