I was huffing a lot of cope about this movie for awhile. Garland directed my all-time favorite movie, Annihilation. I was hoping this one would be better than the marketing team was letting on. Maybe something about the US' extraordinary violence being brought back to the homeland, especially with the PoV of a journalist. Fuck.
Oh for sure, but it's so wildly different in content (while perfectly preserving tone) that I was really impressed by how Garland adapted it. I was hoping some of that skill would transfer to this movie, but I guess he's too trapped in the hegemonic ideology :/

Annihilation is based off a good book by Jeff vandermeer though, it seems Civil War is originally written by Garland

It can still be that, just unintentionally.
Same lol. I would watch it if it had something as a strange and abstract as the ending of Annihilation
Have you read the books that Annihilation is based on? They’re very good if you haven’t
the book makes the movie look like a damn pile of puke
I have, and I agree that they're pretty great. Due for a re-read, now that I think about it
