It was unsettling, but NOWHERE NEAR AS UNSETTLING AS THE BOOK. Oh my wowza.

All in all, a great movie that is indeed too smart for most audiences. I mean, what kind of Michael Bay-loving stooge is going to even know what a Hox gene is, let alone how prisms work? Seriously.




This is truth.


It was hollywood-ized a bit, and frankly, 99% of what happened in Area X was left out of the film. It is more like a shadow of the book, with the typical hollywood "surprise" ending
