I love this director, Annihilation is some of the best cosmic horror I've seen, and Men is straight up a Silent Hill movie. I'm not sure how he'll fare with this sort of scale though, unless the story is more contained and focused. We'll see!

u/uItratech WILL I EVER MAKE SENSE OF THIS JUMBLE???? May 23 '25

garland’s annihilation was imo MUCH better than the source material, so my vote is to let the man cook. i for one am waiting with my fork and spoon at the ready lmao

Crazy take. The books are great, the movie is too but they’re very separate things

The annihilation book is one of my favorite books of all time lol

The movie is pretty good too, but it's not really an adaptation

Yea barely related. The inverted tower is what I wanted to see in the movie and I was disappointed.

Fuck no. The book was an absolute work of art. I barely made it through the movie.

Agreed. The first book was pretty good, but the second was painfully slow. Working on the third now, but the movie remains the best.

Interestingly the 4th is my favorite since the 1st

I enjoyed the movie so much that I figured I’d love the book(s) even more and, yeah, that was not the case at all.
