Haha, I figured it had to do with DNA refraction and all that but I didn't know if I missed some mention of a tattoo.
Is there a reason we've glimpsed as to why all five characters lost the same initial 6-days of potentially just walking and eating (no samples had been taken from that time or video recorded?). A loss of time didn't seem to happen again for any of these characters until post-lighthouse.
It's a shame I'll never get to see this movie in a theater. Anyone knows when the move releases in Netflix internationally?
My brain feels like it just fell out of a clothes dryer.
I feel bad for the folks who can only watch this on Netflix. Seeing this in a theater was an overwhelming experience.
how I took it was Kane was absolutely the copy, as shown by the fact he grenaded himself and the copy walked into the frame, and then confirmed at the end......and that Lena was Lena, however some of the alien or the shimmer had imprinted into her (eyes showing mutation/green/cell whatever) so although the base body was Lena Lena, now it is hybrid freaky Lena.Walking away from this movie perplexed. Uh...that IS Lena isn't it? She killed her copy. What was even the message of this movie.
I'm glad movies like this are still getting released but I don't know what to say as far the actual substance this film had. And I'm not someone who normally complains about movies being inexplicable but this...I don't know
Almost everything beyond the very premise of the story is different. Very few of the book's events have been adapted at all. It'd take 1000 words or more to really detail all the changes.So what are all the major changes between book and movie? Some are no names for characters, the Shimmer doesn't get destroyed, what else?

I almost want to say Garland was trying to make a statement about love given the focus put on her affair as well. But I don't know. There's still not enough substance in this movie for me.
And the guitar was most definitely a mistake. What even was that

I disagree. I realize that her narration is unreliable, but the film establishes that what we are shown is the truth (as opposed to what Portman says happened). I take the events of the climax at face value. Portman defeated the copy with a phosphorous grenade that then caused the lighthouse to burn down. So yes, the "real" Portman made it out, but she has been irreparably changed by Area X at the DNA level. She's not sure whether she's still herself, hence her hesitation.It was not. The recount of the encounter was false. Wong mentioned that the lighthouse was nothing but ashes when they went, seemingly to cover her tracks. No evidence of the two actual people that were copied and made it out. Basically solidified when Kane asks if it is her and she doesn't answer but we see she is the same as Kane.
the screaming bear is one of the most unsettling things I've ever seen/heard. Man was that terrifying
That's pretty much what I got from it. When they were talking about the bear, one of the characters speculates that it had absorbed part of their comrade when she died, her pain and fear, and it lived on. The way I see it, the alien copy of Kane took part of the real Kane - his connection to Lena, at least Lena managed to kill the being in the lighthouse, but part of it lived on in her.how I took it was Kane was absolutely the copy, as shown by the fact he grenaded himself and the copy walked into the frame, and then confirmed at the end......and that Lena was Lena, however some of the alien or the shimmer had imprinted into her (eyes showing mutation/green/cell whatever) so although the base body was Lena Lena, now it is hybrid freaky Lena.
the music that was playing in the lighthouse scene should've been throughout the film.
the guitar gave me "somber, depressing adventure" like Logan instead of terrifying but beautiful alien encounter. it felt like such a weird choice for garland after ex machina.
Question from my girilfriend at the comments about hit being terrifying and what not, any jump scenes? She hates these.
There is prolonged tension that makes it seem like there's going to be a jump scare but there aren't any.Question from my girilfriend at the comments about hit being terrifying and what not, any jump scenes? She hates these.
The alligator was one, and the bear screaming could be one as it just came out of nowhere.There is prolonged tension that makes it seem like there's going to be a jump scare but there aren't any.
Ok somebody replied to your comment before me and said there was and I can't even think of any.
When the plant-girl looked at her arm and saw sprouts coming out, my friend instinctually said to herself: "GUH!" The whole theatre laughed. It didn't actually ruin the moment at all though, just made us all realize what a great film we were watching. The idea that a hundred strangers were so absorbed everyone could hear it is amazing.My brain feels like it just fell out of a clothes dryer.

The scene with the bear in the house felt like all the oxygen had been sucked out of the theater, everyone was so damn tense. There was an audible massive exhale from just about everyone including myself once the scene ended. What an incredible movie theater experience, just absolutely breathtaking (literally) and brilliantly written.When the plant-girl looked at her arm and saw sprouts coming out, my friend instinctually said to herself: "GUH!"

Specifically? Or do you just want to know if they live or die?Can someone tell me what happens to each of the main characters?
