Awful

Four incredibly uninteresting characters try to lasso an alien ship from a cloud.

All set-up, no story, meandering themes that go nowhere, and the worst of it all, it's neither scary nor funny.

Peele has some great visuals, but he seems to think turning the power on and off - about 37 times - creates enough tension for a sluggish, talky, two hour and 15 minute movie.

A real dud.

Although I enjoyed most of it for being different, it could have been edited down a lot. There was a lot of "who cares" stuff in it that should have been on the cutting room floor.
90 minutes could have been much better

What are the meandering themes?

What was the point of the Gordy thread?

This was an allusion to evolution and 2001 Space Odyssey. Monkeys are also a common animal that has been sent into space

I think that Jupe should have learned that you can’t trust a wild animal.
