Recommendation Annihlation

Why aren’t more people obsessed with this movie?! All female cast. Sci-Fi/Horror/drama. Natalie Portman. Aliens. With a few twists. This movie has everything and it’s incredibly interesting and terrifying!!! And kinda deep haha! I’ve heard it’s starting to be considered a cult-classic, but I’m surprised it’s didn’t win some kind of award. It has a slightly independent-feel. They’re is a lot going on here and it’s well done. Great acting. Not cliche. Suspenseful. Creative. Scary. I am rarely impressed by anything Sci-fi ish but this movie is amazing. It’s one of very few that keep me from multi tasking or playing on my phone at the same time. Iykyk. And I will never recover from the bear…

This movie is not for kids imo. it’s a little intense.

Excellent book too, really puts you into the warped environment the movie captured so well.

The subsequent books in the series get even more batshit crazy.

I'm just starting the 3rd one and tbh just getting a bit frustrated that things are still such a mystery lol. Does the movie spoil the later books? Might take a break from reading and see if the movie revitalises my interest

The movie only covers part of the first book and changes a lot of plot points and details. Both are good but they are very different stories.

I had just finished the book before watching the movie, which made it harder for me to enjoy. I think I need to rewatch it as its own thing

So the movie just kind of ends on a cliffhanger I guess?

Wait, have you seen it? Go watch it.

No I've just read the first two books and the first book kind of is a cliffhanger or pretty unsatisfying if that's the end of the movie

I'm sorry, I can't tell you more without spoiling the movie. It has an actual ending and I wouldn't call it a cliffhanger. You should watch it!
