I've been once and while the facility is nice the seats I had were trash. Basic bleacher seats that, if I knew better, would have required one of those "bring your own seat with a back to strap onto the bleacher" devices. I was uncomfortable for the entire game.

It was fine but when you compare it to Garland's previous movie (Ex Machina) it isn't nearly as well executed. Annihilation had some cool ideas and great visuals, but it just felt weak in general. I think part of my hold up was the lack of believability in Natalie Portman's character and her acting, but they seemed to introduce a lot of questions about how the thing "worked" without actually answering them.

(Tessa Thomson is a plant now I guess. Did you need to physically touch the "center" of the shimmer to get a copy? If so does that mean that the twinned deer worked themselves into that cavern too (through closed doors)? Here are just some human bones hanging out on the beach. Why did Kane's grenade just kill him, but Lena's burn down /EVERYTHING/).

Ultimately, it's hard to introduce a new idea, and the prismatic alteration of DNA is a neat one, but it is also kind of a handwaving crutch for some of the fates of both people and animals just to have cool visuals.

Judging by the downvotes anyone speaking negatively about the movie is getting, I expect the same.

Review aggregation websites in general will provide a decent barometer of how "good " something is but there is always nuance after that. You have to use that brain of yours and not just follow the scores.

You're the second person in the past two days admitting they're on the road illegally. I'm sure you maintained insurance too, right? AAA roadside is not insurance.

You need registration and insurance for your vehicle. You also need a license to drive. There, I figured it out for you.

I have yet to see Fabelmans yet, but for me I think there's a significant difference from early Spielberg to today's Spielberg. Can't tell if it is just nostalgia glasses or what, but prior to 2000 you could pretty much swear by going to his movies and having a good time.

Within the past 20 years he's been very much hit or miss for me. Perhaps that's just because there have been so many other, better directors to come out that it has exposed that he's a "good" filmmaker and generally not an excellent one.

As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or biases. However, some people might feel that King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are overrated because they do not appreciate their musical style, which is a blend of various genres including psychedelic rock, heavy metal, and progressive rock. Others might feel that their extensive discography and the frequent releases of albums make it difficult for them to keep up and fully appreciate their music. Ultimately, opinions on music are subjective and can vary greatly from person to person.
