  • Alex Garland's best film leans heavily on metaphor in an exploration of grief that takes its characters through an alien jungle, challenging them to face their fears and move forward. If you really want to analyze the aliens, you can, but this story is more about how sci-fi can define our humanity more than "The Truth Is Out There" style investigation.

  • This film is not nearly as tight as Ex Machina, but is is compelling. I think the sci-fi twists and turns are some great ones, and the whole logic behind the main plot line is very interesting. Gina Rodriguez isn’t as great as I’d hope she would be.
