for fuck sake ... Alcoholic film makers, talking poetry and classical music does not make you cultural nor deep.
So much potential and so much talent at his disposal ... and he made that...
So much 'convenient' plot telling, VFX mostly was dire, (there was 2d rain sheets slap comped onto the shots and some of the rendering ... terrible) camera work did not look nor feel like Ridley. I dont think it was the projection but the choice of lens and the DI the look and feel look shit. Which is unlike Ridleys other works. No far that guy drinks he always has a high camera production show...
The characters.... you know the actors gave it all they could but the script was lacking as was the plot twists...
Gore was great though, as was the 'natural' aliens.
This felt a sub par teen slasher, made by a drunk, with an incredible set design, whom never saw a slasher.
The twist was visible from the offset. So much happened and yet nothing happened....
really wanted to like this as well.
rant at an end!
