I don’t necessarily recommend this movie, but it did have some stunning visuals. I wish I could’ve given you more pixels.

This movie was strange. I saw it in the theater and when the end credits started rolling, someone behind me said, “What the fuck did I just watch?”

    Huh. The books were about a really nasty form of fungus, according to Wikipedia.

    That was not at all what I got from the movie. There was a meteor crash at the beginning even. I thought it was something like a von Neumann probe that wasn’t compatible with our particular brand of reality, an attempt by an alien entity to reach out and establish a connection with a world it didn’t understand. I loved the idea that all of the horrors were likely just incidental to the process of the entity attempting to learn in an inhuman fashion.
