I went into this film with extremely high hopes because the movie was raved about by so many people. I have to say though, I was slightly disappointed.

It was shot absolutely beautifully. The aesthetics and the environments were all supremely done, they had this otherworldly sense to them that was enthralling and captivating. You can tell they didn't hold back at any point on the sets or the environments.

The storytelling was also done beautifully, I loved how they seemed to humanize these "top secret" situations by inserting everyday idle chit chat. It made the situation that normally would be grand seem so trivial, this made everything seem so utterly believable.

Now I'm sure you're reading all of this and wondering, "Why were you disappointed?" Well, for me, there were just things in the movie that didn't make a ton of sense to me, the sexual scenes for instance...why were they there? Not the ones with the "creature", but the others. If you subtracted them from the film, it doesn't take anything away from it. Perhaps, they were trying to humanize these characters by showing them in their most intimate settings? I can sort of understand that, but it kind of just comes across as odd to me.

Perhaps I'm being too critical of the scenes, I was expecting this movie to be something slightly different so I must admit my opinion is slightly skewed.

The storytelling and environments and the performances make this movie a GREAT watch, but sadly I can't say it's a MUST watch.
