I'm sure it's not just me but every time these trailers pop up and then it gives you 5 seconds of stupid shit, and then it's like the trailer starts now like it's some amazing event, I'm sorry doesn't want to make me watch your movie more.

I don't know if it's a stupid clip that they're pumping out onto social media, 5 or 10 seconds of the trailer. It's just gay.

Looks like an interesting movie though but I'll wait for a streaming.

LOL, first that shitty Alien movie you had to endure, only to be followed by a five-second pre-trailer :emoji_apple: potpourri. I can feel the Doctor is getting close to the edge...

Dude that's classic '80s hip Hop, but yes that may be pushed me close to the edge. I've been thinking about it and I was actually talking with a buddy of mine on my phone earlier today about just how bad it was, and I could tell he was getting kind of just annoyed by how much I was ranting.

Don't worry my wife was pretty angry at me because of all I did was talk about it last night, and she doesn't know what God damn thing about any of the Alien films...but she does now!

Semi-interesting premise, I guess, but if this is the pit to hell, why would you leave it to two people to guard? I hope the explanation of that is all part of the mystery and isn't just hand waved away.

To those who haven't watched the trailer, probably don't do it. It looks like it probably gave away at least half or more of the film and would kill a bunch of tension during a watch.

If i wasn't worn out on those actors I would maybe care. I don't know why I can't stand them, they are good actors and aren't political that I know of

Anya Taylor-Joy gives me a weird boner. I love her unusual alien face.

The age old tale of two incredibly attractive elite snipers whose hearts overcome the distance they are separated while protecting the world from sci-fi beasts.

Yeah, I'll probably watch this. Since it is Apple+ I have slightly higher hopes of it being a good B movie.

This movie looks cool and had to google the movie and FoH to make sure it was on the radar

Elite sniper talk and with best of the best type movie formula but then they throw in stuff that makes it clear this isn’t a movie based on realistic drama…..door/gate to hell

Like what? I'd put it last place.
Ms Davis, Poker face were awesome. Based on a true story and the resort were good also off the top of my head. Day of the jackel is supposed to be good.

They arent pumping out shows like Netflix where 1 out of fifty are good

It's just that, a B movie. It is watchable if you are good at deleting a dumb story as soon as it hits your neurons. But, hoo-boy, what a dumb fucking story. It had part of a good concept, but they went into full diaper mode pretty early.

This would have been a much better movie if they didn't go into production with the first draft of the script.

I had a belly laugh at the plant men as bad guys. I mean...plant men. Getting chased around by a ficus isn't exactly terrifying.

I thought this was decent. Second half was pretty cool. Ending was a bit flat.

Yeah, the story in this is about as dumb as it gets. It's a stupid popcorn movie with a meh ending. If you're going to watch it, just make sure you're not paying for it.

It has some briefly cool concepts that seemed ripped right out of Annihilation, but not quite as interesting.

That was pretty bad. Cheap cgi-plant-man aside, they didn't know how to build tension to save their life, lol. I think there could've been some potential for some exciting scenes there, theoretically, with one side being overrun and the other side trying to help with a sniper rifle. Or with a more drawn-out, cliffhanger-style scene of "will he fall into the gorge or not". But no.

alien face girl was the better actor, i looked at this differently i pictured it as a real survival horror game, your partner gets split up, you go a different route, even the lulz jeep winch scene felt like a quicktime event
