Just watched this... good setup, not sure what the purpose of the film was, the ending was.... very meta and ambiguous

The weird ambiguous ending is something I really appreciate about this movie.

One of the best endings. The music was also incredible.

Highly recommend the first book that the movie was based on. To a certain extent enjoyed the two sequels of the original trilogy.

Jeff Vandermere just released a new prequel book called Absolution that was a little bit tougher of a read for me for some reason (probably because it has been nearly 8 years since I read the original series), but still fascinating if you like the area X books.

He has some other weird fiction books that are definitely worth scoping out too: Borne is very different from annihilation but the characters have really stuck in my head since I read it. Almost everything he touches seems to touch on humanity’s relationship with the environment.

Just picked it up today over lunch! Quick side note: I love the covers for these books - really eye-catching

One of my favorite movies ever. I just loved everything about it. Very weird

Also great soundtrack
