Don't think it's for everybody, but for those who do get it? We can talk over some shots. :D Wonderfully bizarre and frustrating in all the good ways. Ultimately lit. Smart, meditative sci-fi that forces you to think instead of spoon-feeding you syrup is sorely missed. Need to re-watch. Downloading the synth-trippy score now.

Everyone outside of the U.S. can peep it on Netflix, but it's really made to be seen in theaters where you can immerse yourself into it fully. Shame it wasn't marketed properly and also should've been released a month earlier because Black Panther murked everything after.

Didn't know this was by the Ex-Machina dude, but his design sense is all over it and it works. Also didn't know this was based off of a book trilogy, which I think I need to dive into because I'm loving the cover art.

Alternative movie poster is better, imo:

Word of mouth on this movie was amazing, but it just didn't catch on. Black Panther's force field may very well be the reason.

Yeah, the marketing really dropped the ball on this. A movie that has a nearly all-woman principal cast should've capitalized on the female-centric wave going on. More focused advertising and a month ahead of Black Panther would've worked better.
