One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I enjoy movies where it takes a while to figure out what is going on. I thought this was one of those movies so I was enjoying the tease and the wonder of what was happening. In the end they explain nothing. I'd give it 2 stars for plot and writing but I bump it to 5 stars for the interesting visuals.

I thought this was an absolutely awful movie. You'd have to pay me to sit through this trash again.

Worst movie I've sat through in quite a while. A journey from the ambiguous to who cares not us. "The Female's" (a character name assigned by whoever did the subtitles) (Scar Jo Jo) big moment is her realization that she is pretty. It comes just after her "interaction" with an 'elephant man' type and she happens to look a a mirror and realizes that she is pretty. Of course the real "The Female" in her true alien appearance isn't pretty but the human skin form she is wearing (Scar Jo) sure is. I can only guess at the emotional state of this self-deluded alien/entity at this moment because the actress declined to emote. (A choice she made throughout the film). As I was sharpening the pencil (the one I use poke in my eyes at times like this) Scar Jo got naked again. So OK, there's that. So now we're half way through and I need to find out if there's any point to this movie or if it's just a tax shelter thing. (Hint: Snapchat your accountant now) So I plow forward and learn... 1. "The Female" doesn't like cake 2. Wear a condom when sleeping with alien huntresses or they won't cuddle after. 3. Hunter sometimes become pray. To some reviewers this last lesson is all profound and stuff. Or prehaps this tired old trope is new to them and they are only now beginning to "feel ways about stuff." So are we supposed to feel ways about stuff too, and junk? No. There is almost no feeling in the film, so that's not it. Are we supposed to have learned something? No. Nothing to learn here except maybe to not watch this movie... Wait! That is pretty profound. How do you know not to watch something without not watching it first? I'm freaking myself out cuz. It's such an empty movie the credits don't bother to give the characters names. Some interesting visuals bumps this film from 1/2 star to one star.

Unless you've read the book, or at least a synopsis of it, there's no understanding that SJ is an alien until the ending. Even though the movie doesn't really follow the book you at least have answers to the questions: Who is she? Why did she take that woman's clothes? Why does she often look so confused? Why is she leading men into a black void? What happened to the guy in suspension when he popped out of his skin? What's the river of red and black flowing towards the red line in the void? Who's the guy on the motorcycle? I understand they wanted to strip the story down, but I think they went too far and stripped away too much of the actual plot. I like mind benders, but there still has to be a comprehensive story that allows the viewers to connect the dots along the way or at the end have an "a ha!" moment. If you have no knowledge of the book, the ending only reveals SJ is an alien, which is why she seems lost or confused by the world around her, and the men were taken for some alien reason. No other answers. That's it.
