I started this movie and was intrigued by the potential for a movie that explored the class struggle. Nobody in the movie could be considered a “good guy”. The closest was the low intelligence cousin that just got wrapped up it things. The major thing I left the movie with was just anger at how it ended. It built all this class struggle stuff up just to end it like “lol aliens”. It’s like the ruling rich made this movie just to laugh at the people who would go see it. Maybe I am just jaded with the fucked up reality of capitalism but this movie left a serious bad taste in my mouth.
Totally not my typical type of movie. I watched it because the cover art made me curious. I get what he was doing, but it definitely didn’t land with me. I just kept asking “why” to myself through the whole film and never got into it.
Honestly felt the same about Poor Things from the same director. He’s got his thing and it’s not for me.
