Why yes, yes it is.

I also really enjoyed it. The ending stuck with me for a few days.

Thanks

This is definitely something I'd buy. Honestly didn't know how Netflix handles things; thought they might just put it up on their service and leave it at that.

Been awhile since I've looked for blu-rays outside of old favorites, and Marvel movies. I'd say Star Wars movies too, but that bridge has been burned. TLJ left a taste in my mouth similar to The Hobbit films, of which I only watched 1 in the theater.

And hopefully, the disc sale will throw a boost to the makers, they deserve it. The trailers and some of the reviews caught my eye, but it was out of the theaters before I got around to seeing it.

I don't think the marketing did it any favors, at first I was apprehensive about it. The first trailer I caught was in the theater while watching... Thor Ragnarok maybe? Maybe TLJ?
But it was shown, lumped in with trailers for A Wrinkle in Time and the high school girl's volleyball team flick. So my first reaction was "ok, 3 trailers, zero males so far. I might be the wrong market "
Boy, was that wrong.

great movie. that final act really stuck with me

lighthouse scene was one of the most visually stunning things we've seen for a long time.

I am pissed the article didn’t bother to meation that the books that released the racial information came out after the script for Annillihation was written and it was far in developed.

Not shocked, but still pissed.

I'm not sure what this means as far as the sound system you watched it on, but the sound effects and music, especially in the light house, were as spectacular as the visuals. If you didn't get to see it with big sound, you should do so.

Lol, the person I saw it with told me right before that he took acid before the movie at the theater. Needless to say, he really enjoyed it.

probably one of my favorite movies as of late. it's nice to get a change of pace and watch something original versus the mainstream money grabs.

without beating a dead horse, the visual effects were amazing! the lighthouse scene was awesome. I got a little lost in the prolonged "dance routine" NP and her copy were doing, but that's because I don't see the symbolism of it very well. I understand there was a deeper meaning to it, but just didn't know the specific meaning haha.

The scene when she was watching her husband do his final confessional was relieving and creepy at the same time. It was relieving in a sense how he just couldn't take it anymore so he was ridding himself of the torture. The creepiness was from him talking about his insides moving and then killing himself with a, what was it a flash grenade?. Of course right before that when he said "find Lena" and his copy walked out, I immediately turned into WWWTTTFFF! haha. I never read the book so I didn't anticipate anything.

i am waiting for the blu-ray. I didn't really like the book that much. I found it jumbled. Although I hear the book isn't really liek the movie at all.

This movie was all about the theater experience IMO. I watched 2001 at a buddy's house this past weekend on a huge screen with sound. What a difference that makes.

It made me really wish that they had taken a page from Kubrick's book and prolonged the kaleidoscope scene for 3-5 minutes to truly "force" the audience to have no choice but to see/process whatever "it" was. This would have better conveyed the overarching theme of it just is/does what it wants and you can't escape it.

That's really my only wish for how to make it better. The visuals with the sound were just like the alien itself- no words could adequately explain what it is.
