Are you referring to the reveal of the aliens?

Indeed. I tried to steer clear of obvious spoilers haha.

It seems like people were disappointed by the reveal. How did you feel about it?

I saw this on friday night. I think the movie should have ended right when she saw the ship. The entire scene after that seemed to be way over the top and honestly didn't add much value for me.

Watched it again with different people the other day. Just as entertaining the second time. Also pretty fun watching people who haven't seen it get shocked from a few of the key scenes. It's one of those movies that doesn't feel like an hour and 45 minutes. Perfectly paced and edited.

Saw it last sunday, had a very good moment!

The heroine's feelings are thrown up and down, so are the viewers'

And I confirm: Goodman is excellent.

Yeah, I'm bumping an old thread. It just hit Redbox not that long ago, so I finally saw it. Liked the tension, but hated the ending (even though I had it spoiled somewhat beforehand by seeing info on the original script). It's not that it left too many questions open, it's that it was just badly scripted. I would have had a completely different opinion if they:



Spoiler
made the dog-like alien that came out of the fields more like the parasites that dropped off the big monster in the first.
That would have at least tied the two films together some. As it is, I don't see this as a spiritual successor or "sister" film as JJ put it.

And why the hell wouldn't there have been a gas mask or hazard suit laying around that place?

spiritual

That's what "spiritual" means - that there's no material/physical proof binding them together. Only an invisible, "spiritual", connection.

I know what spiritual means and this movie doesn't qualify. There is no associate whatsoever, aside from the mailbox.

mailbox

You're confusing "spiritual" and "material". A specific type of alien AND a mailbox are both material.

No, I'm saying there is no spiritual connection AND the only material connection is the mailbox/address. Stop trying to pick a fight.

Ah, well I guess it shows that english is not my mother tongue.
