there's definitely a difference between a movie not making sense and a movie just grabbing random thoughts out of the air- which exactly applies to this movie.I don't agree that it's random. It's not a particularly deep or confusing movie, but nothing in it is random. --- The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth, it is the truth which conceals that there is none.

When people here say Step Brothers do they mean the Will Ferrell comedy? Cause Ive actually never seen it lol. Is it actually that confusing? I always figured it was yet another regular Will Ferrell comedy.

Oh, the books annihilation is based on are quite good.I watched the movie when it came out, and read the book a little over a year ago. I actually like the movie more than the book. It's fairly different. I didn't think the movie is confusing. Felt like it was pretty straight forward. Including the ending. --- Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need. ...

Donnie Darko, Momento, and Tenant are fair. For DD they had to come out with a directors cut to actually explain things.

The main character is having an existential crisis of identity. A scene where his face comes off seems thematically relevant to that, yeah? --- The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth, it is the truth which conceals that there is none.

@Mr_hulk88 TC, I'm late to this but my gf loves the movies made by those directors. So if you enjoyed 'The Endless', I'd also recommend their previous movie, 'Resolution', which is set in the same universe. As well as their newer movie, 'Synchronic'.

Venom and Eternity. The cinematic manifesto of lettrism, by its founder. I vibed with it when I was younger but I have no idea what it means or what it's about.
Also Lynch's Dune. I actually like it more than the new version because it's a lot more fun trying to figure out what's going on, and failing. It's also much more visually interesting. Freddie Francis is one of the great artists in his field, and that film is easily the most incredible work he did in color. --- "Kill everyone now! Condone first degree murder! Advocate cannibalism!

Freddie Francis is one of the great artists in his field, and that film is easily the most incredible work he did in color. Maxim back in the day gave the original Dune movie one of my all-time favorite roasts (here's my best attempt to quote from memory): "The US Geological Survey maintains a comprehensive list of all the arable land in the continental United States. Based on their latest findings, they have determined that it is not possible to grow the amount of pot necessary for this movie to make the slightest bit of sense.
