This is the best news in a time of terrible news! It would have been my life dream to work on that show. Break a leg and I'll be watching!

The love story was good and I enjoyed the first half. They should have leaned into that. Once they went down into #TheGorge, I starting telling my son about a better version of this story that he can read called, ANNIHILATION.

I think the first hour is worth a watch. I enjoyed it. Then, it narratively descends into the hell of a bad video game plot.

A version that leaned more on romance, character, separation and survival -- with a scaled-down monsters in the middle keeping them apart storyline -- would have played to the story's strengths, making the movie more unique and memorable. Alas, everything always has to be bigger. #TheGorge

The filmmakers and/or studio likely felt they needed big action to go with the love story to fulfill the premise and meet genre expectations, so they spent a lot of money and time on effects, creatures, and storylines we've seen before, and in so doing lost the heart of the film. #TheGorge

I watch all the B-movies I can find and give them at least fifteen minutes. Glad Mr. Jane got the work, but I would probably spend my precious #SciFi time elsewhere. Maybe 2018 Pedro Pascal in the "low" budget PROSPECT? www.justwatch.com/us/movie/pro...

I could not stay with it, mostly because I was expecting space and lots of Thomas Jane and it wasn't that. It was a smorgasbord of #scifi tropes and themes stuffed into one movie. No thanks. I prefer a deep-dive to a survey course. www.justwatch.com/us/movie/war...

I'd love recommendations on other non-white, indigenous, post-colonial first-contact SciFi as I continue the work of building my new universe.

The most read/watched first-contact fiction has been written by traditionally white writers. Who knows first contact better than colonized peoples? ASTROTOPIA (to be discussed again) by @mjrubenstein.bsky.social alerted me to this reality, which lead me LAGOON. It's must read. They both are.
