It's kinda hard for me to say I liked it. But I'm pretty sure I see what the filmmakers were trying to do, and I'm glad that they did it.

I expected to like it more than I did. I had read a lot about it before hand.
I was a bit underwhelmed when I watched it but I enjoyed it and didn't regret watching.
 
Garland’s okay as a director. I feel like he crushed it with Ex Machina and everything since has been subpar in comparison. He’s better as a writer.

I couldn't get through season 1. Thought the acting was bad, the writing just too obvious and predictable. I tried but stalled at like around episode 4.

Fair. I liked season one but I get it. I have read nearly all the Reacher books though so im bias. (I think I have read about 25 reacher books)

I agree that he crushed it on Ex Machina. Great movie.

Speaking of books, and I might have already mentioned this somewhere else, Im currently reading the Wings Of Fire books (there are 18 total). Im on book 6. They are kids books and I started reading them just to have something to connect with my daughter more but it turns out they are really good and Im no longer reading them because she is but simply because I really like them.

Anyone with kids who like to read, I highly recommend the series. Apparently a TV series is in the works as well.

Nah, he's pretty consistently great. Annihilation is awesome. Everyone who doesn't think so needs to get some screws tightened.

Have you read the book? Maybe I’ll give it another whirl.

I liked Men. An interesting filmmaking approach and criticism on our gender.

My girls loved those books when they were younger. I read the first 3.

*three books. And, yes.

The film is obviously different because it always wanted to be. I don't see much point in comparing them, but I will say that I ****ing love the film's ending more than any peak moment of the novels.

Weirdly, I love Vandermeer's anthologies that he's edited, and his short stories, but never read his novels.

If you don't mind. What's this guy all about? I did a quick google and there are a lot of books, especially ones that start with the letter "A."
 
****ing streaming services, you sign up for one and then after six months it spits into two services. Binge has now spit into binge and HBO max, I only signed up to Binge for the HBO content. Signed up to Kayo sports only to have the football removed to another service. ***** me to tears.

Admit it you thought binge involved not stop uber wars being delivered to your front door …

SF/fantasy writer, has written some well received books. As I said I haven't read them, but he has edited, with his wife, a number of great anthologies of short stories, both ones focusing on specific sub-genres (New Weird is the one he's most known for, but also Steampunk, Pirate fantasy, and time travel) as well as large fairly definitive genre-spanning compendiums.
