>Shitty cgi can't save another boring movie

Looks fucking great. Getting a lot of Stalker vibes from it.

something something Kafkaesque

>Trailer starts with excerpt shots from the trailer

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

IS the book any good?

Every trailer does this now, it's because of the youtube preview system. It's like a little trailer to entice people to watch the whole trailer.

...

I hope we gonna get to see more of that Nat ass.

Well it's fucking retarded and youtube needs to come up with a better preview system. What's the point of a trailer if you get spoiled before even watching it?

looks like dark souls

It's 3 books and it's all cliff hangers.
It's kind of lovecraftian in the sense that it's some indescribable terror that makes people go insane but less tentacles/sea shit and more slug guy/weird hiking shit.

The book is incredible but it's not for everybody. You will end up having to read all 3 because the first one ends before you learn anything.

they better steal that code from xhamster, because there you can see shots from whole video when you put a cursor over a video.

>Lovecraftian

I want to breed Hershlag

with what?

my dick full of cum pumping it into her vagina

Motherfucker, that's all porn sites.

Hhahahahhahahaha

Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit—and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame shall acquire every part of you that remains

don't think your inferior dna would be compatible

What did they mean by this?

Books were fucking great, hope it's good

this will premiere on the sci-fi channel, right

>Alex Garland

You just know the third act will go full retard, he's the master of his craft

>can you describe its form
>no

that thumbnail is some old school macabre right there, may watch the video later.

loving the lynchianesque elements

Someone who read the books plz ruin it for me. What's it about?

It looks interesting but
>that total faggot jew of an oscar isaac is in it

get out of here, stalker

Literally nothing. Each of the three books can be summarised as "there's some weird shit and no answers".

WE ARE FINALLY GETTING LOVECRAFTIAN KINO

Why were the books so popular then?

am i retard if i cant understood this

fucking brainlet

did you just hate on /ourboy/

"Is it Carbon Based?"

Count me out of this shite. Written by a pretencious idiot, acted by cash for expressions actors.

because that poster is full of shit, the books are excellent. Look, find out for yourself; fiction is even more subjective than film, nothing anyone tells you hear is gonna tell you anything. The first book is like 100 pages long, even if you're not much of a reader you can easily knock it out in a day or two, and if you get the paperbook it'll cost you $10 or less

It's about an organization tasked with sending expeditions into this area of the coast that became enclosed in a big invisible bubble of something and they're trying to figure out what it is, where it's from and what its purpose is. Inside the bubble, nature thrives, and weird shit happens to people. in the end its up to interpretation but essentially the bubble is a big machine created by beings beyond comprehension but it's become broken and the very idea of trying to figure out what it is "supposed" to do is pointless. It expands to cover the whole earth and nature wins and humans lose the end

>cliff hangers
lol what
it ends with plenty of finality

VANDERMEER'D

Natalie Portman shouting ANU CHEEKI BREEKI would get me into a theater.

there are characters in the book who make the purposeful decision NOT to try and figure out what it means because they know its a never ending rabbit hole leading to insanity

Because it's exactly the kind of pointless mood piece shitters love nowadays. They can sit around talking about how weird and crazy it is and never have to actually assert any insight or analysis because there's nothing to analyse.

What is the Crawler?

FUCK YOU DAVID

This and God's Particle got me hyped as fuck. 2018 will be the year of sci fi kino. FUCK capeshit

>What is the Crawler?
Okay, first of all, having unanswered questions in something does not make it bad. That you think it does is what makes you a brainlet. I'm not arguging there aren't unanswered questions, there are and it's fine.

For the record though, that's not one of them. the crawler is the lighthouse keeper from Acceptance

its not a mood piece homie, you get plenty of answers. Just because you don't find out "what the crawler is and what part it plays in the grand scheme of the machine" does not mean there are no answers and the entire story is completely pointless.

lol you probably hated The Return too
lemme guess your movie of the year was suicide squad

Looks suitably weird. I'm in.

:P

>lovecraftian

Eh it looks too """"""""""diverse"""""""" and liberal for me. Not enough Lovecraftesque elements to redeem it.

Alright, educate me. What's the point of the story?

NIGHTMARE MODE: if youparaphrase "the point is sometimes things are unexplainable and there are no answers" or similar meaningless platitude you have to kill yourselve, it's the law

triggered snowflake

aw sweetie who hurt you

>ywn follow Hershlag through the meatgrinder

haha
I don't have to PROVE to you that it's good, clearly you don't like it. I could spend 5 minutes writing out what I think the point of the story is, but it's not going to change your mind, is it? You don't like it. that's fine. but I don't need to defend it to you either, m8. so i'm gonna make a sandwich as that's a MUCH better use of my time, and it'll actually change something (me from a hungry boy to a full boy)

sorry about the tiny brain

looks really good. too bad its just about mind controlling spores

they actually whitewashed two of the main characters lmao

And the all-female team has an explanation to it

Watching any movie with non-whites or women in it makes you a nu-male.
Thank god Sup Forums warned me about Mad Max Fury Road so that I didn't watch that feminist propaganda piece.

>Eh it looks too """"""""""diverse"""""""" and liberal for me. Not enough Lovecraftesque elements to redeem it.

>h-haha! I don't need to make an argument, y-you're just a meanie who's wrong and mean! I-I'm going now, to illustrate that your opinion means nothing to me, even though if that were true I w-wouldn't have tried to prove you wrong in the first place!

We were all 15 once lad, no shame in it

"the point" you mean like a moral? Or you mean like, what, in exact terms happened? It's a story about the relationship between humankind and nature. The point is to make you think about things while entertaining you. What happens is its a story where humanity is destroyed by something they can't do anything about, and what makes it interesting is seeing characters deal with and come to terms with that knowledge

have you read the book? it's not. in fact, all the spores do is make you immune to mind control. so it's the opposite of that buddy

I haven't read the books, so trailer itself reminds me of game Creeper World a bit.

>Watching any movie with non-whites or women in it makes you a nu-male.
Thank god Sup Forums warned me about Mad Max Fury Road so that I didn't watch that feminist propaganda piece.

oooh interesting. some dude told me the other day.
can you TLDR in spoilers the plot?

lol, nothing you say will change the fact that you're the one who read a book shorter than most children's books and wasn't able to figure it out

they should have made a movie of the husband's expedition

see

Le strong womyn and minorities save the world! Epic CGI effects! ;D

No thanks, it looks like rancid dog farts.

Reminds me of Arrival.

that would have been more "lovecraftian" given his expedition they all go mad or die and he gets btfo at the end

there's a wildlife area that has somehow changed and mutated and is now full of all sorts of weird shit. bizarre animals, strange geographical anomalies like a stone tower that goes into the ground impossibly deeply, weird things that moan at night, etc. the humans who lived there have all been turned into weird shit or animals. the zone is being studied by a government agency called The Southern Reach who is also trying to contain it. It grows bigger by a few feet every year, and nothing seems to be able to stop it. The characters are part of an investigation sent into it to take notes, study the mutated wildlife, and leave. But there's a weird ulterior motive and shit falls apart in a very weird way.

It's because people were clicking "Skip Ad" before actually learning what the advertisement was for.

keep in mind, bookfags, that this movie was apparently written as a standalone and not as the first in a 3 part trilogy. It's an adaptation of Annihilation, so who knows if they're gonna squeeze stuff in from teh second two books, or change it completely.

WATCH TEASER NOW

>It's because people were clicking "Skip Ad" before actually learning what the advertisement was for.
People still not using ABP? fucking cavemen

btfo? Idk user I think getting turned into an owl sounds pretty chill

WHY ARE ALL THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS WOMEN

this
kinda weird desu
at least they were written and directed by men so they make some kind of sense

because each expedition is made up of different types of people to see if that has any effect on the way the zone treats them. The expedition before was all dudes. They're also not allowed to have any modern technology because apparently that causes bad shit to happen.

sex sells

What's wrong with that? There are many movies where the main characters are mostly men.

Post-2012 this board pretty much became a parody of a movie discussion board.
This thread in particular is a pretty strong example of that.

Look, if the movie was about baking cakes or playing house it would make sense if it was full of women. But this movie is about real scientists doing hard things... That's exclusively male domain.

ITS EXPLAINED IN THE BOOK RETARD

Please keep posting. I want to hear more.

ONLY RETARDS READ BOOKS YOU RETARD

I know right, some people actually want to watch this SJW crap.

What is this new trailer before the trailer bullshit?
They have been doing this for trailers recently. Makes no damn sense.

>We had been told not to look back upon arrival, but I snuck a glance anyway, while the psychologist's attention was elsewhere. I don't know quite what I saw. It was hazy, indistinct, and already far behind us

Very lovecraftian

For use on Facebook so the first few seconds grab people's attention when they scroll past it

...this song and dance is not convincing or distracting in the slightest. It's very clear you're feverishly dog-paddling in deep water.

earth shattering fart noises

[unknowable smells]

why not
