What's with the bad votes it didn't even come out yet-

Glad I take Trakt.tv comments with a grain of salt because this movie was quite literally a work of art. I’m a sucker for anything that toes the line of cosmic horror and Jordan did this beautifully.

Even without listing off metaphors or “you just don’t get it” statements this film stands alone as a slow burn tension building horror/scifi epic. As long as you’re willing to accept not every question needs an answer, and not every “otherworldly thing” needs an origin story, this should be a fun ride for you. This checked all the boxes of what I want in an alien movie for me.

Rated it a 9, but so close to a perfect 10. There were some odd character choices and I do think it’s about 30 minutes too long but I found myself not wanting it to end by the final act anyhow. SO GOOD!

Want a good review? Nope.

One day people will see Jordan Peele's movies for what they actually are; glorified garbage.

A remarkable average, slow and boring film with a few dystopian elements. The plot doesn’t go anywhere but somehow the movie keeps going on and on. Once it ends your left with absolutely no idea what any of it meant, unless you look deep within and decide it was some metaphor. I can’t think of anyone I’d recommend this to. It wasn’t scary enough to be a horror, weird enough to be dystopian, interesting enough to be sci-fi.

Never have I seen a movie fumble so hard in the third act, but here we are. The first 2 acts are legitimately amazing and horrifying, but the writing and characters take a huge nosedive once the third act starts. The ending, if you can even call it that, didn't wrap up any of the plot threads introduced. What happened Jordan Peele?

I love Jordan Peele...I was so looking forward to this...and was let down tremendously. The entire Gordy storyline merely seemed like filler and detracted from the rest of the movie. Could've been a lot better imho.

I kept waiting for it to get interesting but it never did. Good idea but really poorly executed.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Nope’:

1. I kept waiting, and waiting, for this film to get good. For the moment when things kick into high gear and it earns that price of admission. For me, it never got there. It always teetered on the edge of something fun and edge-of-your-seat… but it remained uneventful despite its seemingly-momentous scenes.

2. The pacing was all sorts of wonky. It felt like there were a lot of disconnects here, a lot of questions. Scenes that went on too long. Unrealistic character reactions and decisions. My scalp is sore from all the head scratching. I just wish this were a more structured story with all the ideas it contained.

3. Great cast, but the character of OJ was incredibly bland and emotionally flat. A more compelling lead character may have risen this film above all its flaws.

Bonus Thought: What was the significance of the mysterious balancing shoe?

big balloon blood monkey just want fist bump :pensive:

There is a lot to like here, the cast is great, it is shot beautifully and there are a lot of really fun ideas. The ideas don’t fully come together. I was really into the first half and the build up but it kind of fizzles away by the end. I’m not sure if Jordan Peele is the new M Nighy Shyamalan or the new JJ Abrams

Liked the main characters and good acting but the plot was surreal, confusing and just bad editing. Don’t want to give out any spoilers but a good portion of the movie appeared like a second movie forcibly being edited in

A very strange horror/thriller/suspense film about a man and his sister who run a horse farm that encounter aliens/an extra terrestrial being who is creating havoc on the farm, so they decide to fight back. Jordan Peele's horror films are known to be very strange and leave you wondering for at least half of the movie what was going on, and this one is no exception. The film throws numerous plot points at the viewer in the beginning and then almost it seems start the movie over with a whole new plot and goes from there. So it takes some time after the fact to really think hard about how it all connected, but it does. There was also a comical part about the film that was great and added nicely to the drama. Overall though it certainly was an entertaining film all the way through.

the sitcom monkey was misunderstood

A tale of intrigue, deception, survival, and family filled with more weird humor than seemingly possible for all of its oddities. The framing device of the last act makes it about so much more than survival and that serves the story really well.

Loved every second. The theatre we were in had some issues but once those got resolved it was a stellar film.

Very original sci-fi western thriller with some horror elements. Great acting from everyone but Keke Palmer is the standout for me. Beautiful imagery and camera work. The editing and the transition between scenes was weird at times and I disliked the titles we get as if this was chapters of a book or something.

I liked the originality of the movie and had some fun watching it. It does feel like there's two separate stories mashed into one movie and i'm not sure how the two are connected yet I'll need to do a rewatch. I went in not knowing much about the plot sinse I only saw the original teaser and I recommend doing the same. Go in blind if you can the trailer gives off too much.
