  1. This film is absolutely batshit insane. So many twists and turns and yes that third act is ridiculously crazy. I really liked it and do not get why this movie will be divisive. The film is very straightforward but i would get that the end twist for some would be a step too far. Great set pieces, it does not only take place at the house but at various cool locations. The music choices sometimes were a little jarring though. The first two acts were also very scary. I would definitely recommend people to watch this in a theater because i feel this is the first really scary ‘hide your eyes’ horror during this pandemic

  2. Having just finished reading the book, i can say that this movie would have been a flop in theatres. Totally inaccessible, too much exposition and stuff you need to know, almost no action (maybe the movie added more and overall not a very interesting story (my opinion). After the first act the story drags. It is very reminiscent to other sci fi movies. I know this was the original but mainstream audiences do not care about that. It did remind me very much of star wars. It even had an Emperor! I also find the lead character Paul to be not very likeable and very emotionally detached which i know he must be but still makes it not a fun character to follow. I love Zendaya so i hope her role is expanded because her character in the book is not at all interesting. The only character i liked was Lady Jessica and i totally saw rebecca Ferguson as her so i am excited for that

    Well, the reception has also been bad in countries where it was theatrical only, so...   

     

    It has some pros, but you also really feel the runtime more and lack of action.   
     

    The reception for Soul, released on the same day, also seems like a point against this theory.

    Ohhh yeah you’re right i did not think about Soul. Haven’t seen Ww84 yet but i’ll wait for theatres on that one. January 20th

    Do they really need to use a lot of CGI to make Theron look like she's in her 20s? She's playing 30 year olds in the movies she stars in right now. They won't need anywhere close to the amount of deaging CGI used in The Irishman and MCU movies.

     

    But if they're casting someone else, I wouldn't mind Samara Weaving (who's also Aussie).

    Charlize is South African not Aussie
