Is anyone else kinda horrified by the preview that seems to have an alliance between California and Texas? Seriously, my suspension of disbelief just cannot reconcile that craziness. It basically invalidates the entire film.
Sorry, does no one connected with this film understand that no one living in 21st century USA is even remotely likely tonaccept that CA and TX would ever form an alliance.…

I love A24 movies but their endings are always weird or stupid.

Well if you’re hoping that changes with Alex Garland I have some bad news.

Garland can pretty much do no wrong in my book, aside from The Beach, I’ve enjoyed all of his output, particularly his genre work from 28 Days Later onwards.
It never gets mentioned enough and ,lest we forget, he was also responsible for one of the greatest comic book adaptations with his film Dredd.
I’ll be sure to see this, his latest opus, in IMAX! - boris
This is one of those movies that nobody see in theater, but everybody would want to check on streaming.

Yep, bet it gets highly pirated too.
