If you want to half hear someone rant about quick takes, but also cover Annihilation pretty well.

Also, has one of my favorite edits - when the enter the shimmer it jump cuts way to far ahead to them getting up from their camp site. It’s such a jarring cut I was almost mad until the main character was also like, “does anyone remember how we got here” was cool how they used the cut to create the same unease that the characters felt.

I adore him for making that video.

The ending absolutely does not matter. It’s not literal. It’s just a big metaphor.

Yeah, that really helped put the audience in a constant state of unease. I believe it was a 2 or 3 day jump?

Yeah - like 3 days based on their rations left as I recall.

And some characters were immediately giving suspicious glances as well. Now I have to watch it again.

Yeah that one was one of the best parts, fullblown confusion almost immediately despite all confidence going in.

Strange that you were almost mad though, it was obviously part of the reality and the distortion. Though now that I think of it, nothing else in the movie has amnesia ellipsis…why didn’t that same phenomenon ever happen again?

I just watched that video. Never heard of that guy before. He is way smarter than I am. I did not enjoy his thoughts. Even if he is completely correct, his point of view was like medicine or vitamins. Good stuff, but not fun. I just want to enjoy a good movie, man.
