It's actually really good from a cinematography and sound design perspective.

I get that it has totally incoherent lib politics but I actually really liked it.

    I mean that's not surprising, Alex Garland is an exceptionally talented filmmaker. I think everything he's made has been excellent. I am surprised how libs the politics are - everything he's made before made me think he'd at least be left of lib.

        I didn't realize he was involved in Dredd. And it may have bad politics but it still rules.

      "Men" is definitely not excellent imo. He is a talented aesthetic filmmaker but seems a little too dumb to tackle the themes in his movies.
