Didn't deserve all the awards it won that year doe.

So lets see if I can do justice to the plot of the movie, first of all, it's the only movie I've ever seen that tried to make Luddites the villains, but actually made them the heroes.

Also are you fucking joking those bitches could be sisters if not twins.

Amy Adams is really weird because she has an absurd range. She can go from drop dead gorgeous to the most plane jane I can imagine.

If you ever saw Her, she looks terrible in that.

Yeah they can both get it, but they look uncannily similar.

I still don't fully understand the ending, but I'd chock that up to me just being too stupid to fully appreciate it.

Similar to that Annihilation movie if any of yall ever saw it.

I haven't seen Annihilation, but I mean to at some point.

It funny because the movie never addresses how it's a movie where 99% of the cast are women.

Like I didn' t know how to feel about it because I found some of them kinda cringey and annoying but it's never acknowledged in the movie.

Annihilation.

It's like an actual Sci-Fi movie.

Kinda like a thinkin' man's sorta thing.

Did they have permission to go into the Zone, or was it an unauthorized trip?

I still don't fully understand it, but again, It's probably just me being a dumbass.

They were brought in by the government to explore the zone.

They each have some type of specialty.

Everyone else who tried exploring it died.

Are any of them military?

I assumed they'd try and make a canonical reason for that, like there's something about the zone that only allows women to explore it or whatever but it's never brought up.

I think one of them is.

I think the main character was former military.

But the army chick they bring in is like a hardcore dyke, actually kinda funny.

You would think that if everyone that tried to explore it before has died, and this is a sanctioned trip and all that, they would at least spare a team of ~~big strong men~~ Marines or something to escort them.

The synopsis is as I described, there's the field that's expanding centered around this beach some where in American I believe, and everyone that tries going into it dies. They get this cast of women to go in and explore it. Shenanigans ensue.

They all had guns and weapons.

They might've all been exmillitary, idk it's been a minute since I've seen it.

But they were all competent generally speaking.

Between the Stalker games, the book they are based on, Mutant Year Zero and probably some other stuff, any time there is a scifi setting that revolves around an area of alienness of some kind, I'm calling it the Zone, I don't care what it's actually called.

They might've referred to it as that in the movie, it sounded like it fit to me.

That said, if anyone wants a good book to read, I highly recommend Roadside Picnic. Maybe don't read it with sharp objects around though, because it's depressing as fuck.

It wasn't even that type of movie doe.

That was the surprising part.

I've heard intersting things about a scene or two involving a bear.

Yeah that bear scene was pretty fucking good.

You could probably look it up on YT, it doesn't really spoil any other part of the movie.

Oh I've already had the plot spoiled for me.

A lot of the time, I get interested in a movie because I read a plot synopsis or something.

Yeah the main character isn't even like a mary sue "can do no wrong" typa character either. The film legit opens with her cheating on her husband.

They're pretty nuanced characters for the most part.
