Maybe this is a joke that is wooshing me, but in case it’s not, the movie in question is:

Not Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

This right here.

You want an example - he made a short novella - The Langoliers - which is great character building, great tension, and then we get to the reveal and the end - it is impressively awful.

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

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.

He’s almost nihilistic about it - listing off all the market crashes and then stating that we just can’t help ourselves. Not sure if that’s just lying to others or himself, but he comes across sincere in that it’s just a ride and he can’t control it any more than anyone else.
