Sci-fi movie that rips off Alien for the first half, then goes it's own way and gets more and more boring in the second half. A few good ideas, lots of blandness. Dull CGI blob as the monster that kills everyone. I liked parts of the movie, but it managed to generate a lot of ill will in me with the boring and poorly thought out last half hour.

I actually liked the design of the creature, at least for the first bit. I like the idea that it's just a nondescript blob that, if we ever were to find a space creature in real life, you wouldn't bat an eye if that is what it looked like. The idea that it adapts and grows is cool as well but once they give it a "face" it just kind of becomes a generic movie monster.

Yeah it gets worse when it's more fully grown. If it had remained a more blob like creature, I would have been more on board with the design, probably. I did like the scenes where the creature was still in the lab. It's when it escapes the movie started losing me little by little.

Yeah, I thought everything in the lab was great. It borrows heavily from Alien, sure, but it does it very well. Some really great body horror in that segment.

Just tried watching Inland Empire for the second time ever. Made it about just as far (which means not very far). The movie is just nonsense. If you'll watch any turd as long as David Lynch's name is attached to it, it might be less intolerable. I'm no diehard fan of his work exactly, so I'll pass.

Not really. Watching the whole thing would probably open it up to you more.

It certainly foreshadows several things, but it feels like such an immense drag. There's no way I'm ever gonna get through without something like that Clockwork Orange treatment.

There's always The Avengers.

MicShazam 11-20-2018 12:55 PM

There's no way I'm watching that one again. I'm pretty sure it was 7 hours long. Although I did miss the sequel with that robot guy.

That's the one with the Nietzsche screenplay, right?
