I'm 53 minutes in. I've seen Amy Adams nervous, Forest Whittaker impatient, goddamn floating ink bloats and whale noises for I believe this to be the exactly 50% mark of the story. It is really an odd movie, very low key, very subtle and occasionally has beautiful shots but good god this is going nowhere fast and the artificial tension from Forest (and his chain of command) and the world rioting isn't really doing anything for me with how it's portrayed.

Something occurs near the end that changes what you think you know so far. Still not amazing, but it makes it interesting and the emotional scenes more impactful.

I get that and I'm rooting for Amy's character to succeed. I think she won't. I can see this going to hell in a hand basket. It's just that it's really exaggerating the human nature of panic and fight or flight. By protesting against those so much, it simply makes for an unenjoyable narrative for over an hour. There are better ways to approach this. KogaSteelfang posted... Something occurs near the end that changes what you think you know so far.

Not enough pew pew pews and Michael Bay I don't like it. Thinking movies are hard. I love introspective movies and slow burns. Hell, I loved Sicario by this same director. I just feel like this movie is incredibly dry with no payoff at, this point, literally 3/4ths of the way done since I made this topic. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg ...

Stellar movie with a great ending. I didn't like the 'twist' or whatever at the end. Still a great movie though. --- Chaos is a ladder ... Copied to Clipboard!

Boring movie with a boring twist (which I figured out). I love sci-fi movies but that one was very disappointing.
