I really liked this movie. It was definitely SciFi romance rather than an action/scifi with romantic elements. Though the film seems to be controversial in some review circles. I can see why it sparks discussions on ethics but I appreciated how humanly flawed the characters were and didn't think it detracted from the story at all. |

So many good films out lately! This is another one we want to watch; Mother wants to see it as well, so might be a girls night to the cinema whilst Grandad babysits Amy. |

Do you folks have any more developed opinions on this movie? I have avoided it as it seemed like nothing but an SFX extravaganza with some Jennifer Lawrence + Chris Pratt shenanigans stapled on. |

My experience is it has been a rather polarizing movie. Some people just hate it (I've seen it called psychological horror) but I really liked it a lot. While most of the movie is in many ways just how you described it, there's another layer that explores the ethical quandary when a person has a choice to be alone forever or condemn someone else to a similar fate. The selfish desperation of loneliness and depression. Many people condemn the lead character's actions without putting themselves in his shoes - and his attempts to make it right in the end. There's also some nudity and sex though not explicit and alcohol consumption. |
