Viewing Notes

Yep, the hype is real. This is a *great* movie that does some things I haven’t seen in any previous films yet totally borrows from the best for a sweet mashup of ideas for a sci-fi horror action crime mystery. I’ve been a fan of LMG since The Invitation and here he is terrific. Really love how the biotech is integrated and used. I’ll probably go see this again if I have time.
