Yeah that’s true. I was willing to look past that part as regular movie s*** to keep the story going

I was also expecting when they stormed the lab one of the scientists would say black Olympus to control them. Maybe besides Foxx character they weren’t clones tho? In the strip club they were able to take control of everyone through music

I still liked the movie for what it is. A cool throwback to blaxploitation movies with interesting sci-fi twists and some jokes/quips that actually made me laugh. As long as you don’t overthink it and let the plot play out the way it has to you’ll have fun with it

Yeah didn't really make sense how they successfully took over the lab when the CIA guys were shown to have the ability to easily control the clones.. I suppose the villains just had to be stupid otherwise our protagonists would've been cooked in the first 20 minutes of the film

Last 20-30 mins or so fell flat for some reason.

My biggest gripe with these type of films is when that happens

NewRockstars breakdown

Watching. 45 mins left, it feels long. I dig the atmosphere tho.

Just got to the part where Fontaine finds out his mama is vintage AI

I liked it. Slow start but it picked up at the end.

This was actually amazing

I felt the drag when they were in the labs in the stolen suits

But watching it a second time it didn't feel that way

This movie is a classic

Loved them leaving the Tyrone reveal to the end. That was dope

S***ty wannabe John carpenter movie

F*** John carpenter

Mans the reason for your entire thread

Cry some more

ehhhhhhh nah

no carpenter slander needed

Crazy how this be happening in real life too

It was decent but the dialogue was a little cringe ngl. Especially Yo-yo’s lines

Rewatched this classic over the weekend. Still amazing

hate that these Netflix releases that don’t ever make it to Blu-ray/4K smh, same thing happened with Da 5 Bloods. Annihilation & Irishman are the only ones I’ve secured

this might’ve been a crossover hit if it reached a wide release

Yeah the best bet is when Criterion does a release. They did it for Irishman, Roma, Marriage story.

When was Annihilation a Netflix film? I was able to buy that one

But I agree this would’ve done better if it got a theatrical release. And a new release date, releasing same day as Barbie and Opp didn’t do it any good even tho it was the best film out the 3

US had a theatrical release but international folk had it straight to streaming

I did manage to catch a one-off q&a screening here back then with Garland + the composers which was sick

I think you need to call on Tyroneeee
