Sean, no joke: I am currently in the theatre right now using the cinema’s free WIFI and am about to see Nope. Edit: I saw Nope a couple hours ago and it was great! The visuals are stunning to look at, and all the characters are likeable and fun to interact with. The intrigue and mystery of the movie was so awesome! 8.5/10 currently

[@mariolopez3728]

[@jesusrox0903]

Highly entertaining, must see in the best possible theater. Definitely his funniest movie to date. And for me a movie I'll watch several more times trying to figure out all the layers. I disagree about Peele being too on the nose. I think he does a really good job of making subtle points, and when he does have to just say it, it's entertaining and not pigeonholed.

[@ribottostudio]

ok but WHAT WAS THAT OPPENHEIMER TRAILER LIKE!? I need that trailer man. Heard it's in this movie.

He saw it a press screening a couple days ago. Sounds like the trailer is dropping starting today. Could be wrong though, don’t hold me to it.

It played during my Dolby showing so yeah, it's out there. I loved it, more of a teaser but typical Nolan epic feel to it.

[@prodbyluis7693]

It was sooo good, the sound design is incredible

[@seanyonthemic]

I really loved this movie. One particular subplot I didn’t (even though it fit thematically). Definitely a throw back to “Signs” and “Close Encounters”. I just love that there are still filmmakers desiring to make original films. That gets me excited. And this scratched an itch for me. As someone who liked “Us” more than “Get Out”, this movie is easily more accessible to me than those previous two. I loved it! Glad it saw it tonight.

[@gregb9264]

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

I just got back from watching this film. This was one of my most anticipated movies of 2022 and it didn't disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I love like you said it was an original story, there wasn't a dull/boring moment, the cast was fantastic in particular KeKe Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya who really felt like sister and brother, I love the story/plot, mysterious angle of this film etc. Its Jordan Peele's first film in three years and he gets better and better at his craft. The humor lands in this movie too without overdoing it. The climax is great too and the cinematography is excellent. Its a movie you have to watch twice to get all the plot points and see in IMAX or 4DX to get the full experience. It gets a 8.5/10 for me. This was another great review Sean.

[@colessmstudios3188]

Ok that thumbnail is actually funny 🤣

[@ZackGoller]

This movie was utterly spectacular. Feels so Spielbergian in so many ways with the Jordan Peele flavor.

[@RankingTheMouse]

Really looking forward to this one, & even more so now after your review Sean. Jordan Peele is getting close to the instant must watch category, if not already there

[@ZackaryBiagi]

For me personally, I really like this movie. I just had one pretty big problem. Without spoiling anything, the whole backstory on Yeuns character in the beginning and halfway through the film was completely unnecessary and did not add anything to the movie. I kept expecting it to come back up but it never did. Although it did give me easily the scariest scene in the movie, so I guess there's that

[@universaldorks7478]

It ties into one of the main themes of the movie, animal exploitation in TV and films.

[@jonqusdut4747]

(Spoilers) So the monkey was a “wild” animal that they tried to tame and it was going good for a while until suddenly it went insane and killed many at the tv studio. Yeun’s character in the movie had tried to tame the ufo creature and it was fine doing his rodeo shows until it too lost control and ended up eating everything. Now maybe Yuen’s character should have realized he couldn’t control this beast since the monkey he had worked with had the same thing going on with it, one could argue his decisions don’t make sense but to say that his backstory adds nothing to the movie is just wrong.

[@mariahshama9494]

The monkey was blown away after it shared a moment with Yeun's character as a child. Yeun thought he had a second chance now with this UFO creature, hoping that it too wouldn't ultimately be blown away. But that doesn't really come across as the story is being presented.

[@loveotherproblems4928]

Yeuns character seems to tie more into an arc of redeeming & taming past trauma (that bit him in the Azz). It did tie into the movie albeit in a twightlight zone way. And, he could have actually made this into a separate movie it was so good. The 'gordy' section was actually the scariest part of the movie

[@chelsey1087]

[@luckii1161]

Just watched it. Peele did it again and made an excellent movie. I think it’s definitely his most entertaining movie, and probably on paper the best but Get Out is still a masterpiece that holds out higher than Nope in a few ways. Daniel Kaluuya is becoming one of my favorite actors and Keke was amazing as well. Like Peele movies there are lots of symbolism and things you would have to rewatch to interpret. Overall it’s incredible and if you liked his other movies you will like this

I really liked all the characters and the cinematography and the writing, but it didn't come across as a horror film to me. I may have been too hyped up from all of the chatter about a couple of scenes being deeply disturbing. I didn't find it scary in the least, but I still loved the film. Another winner from Jordan Peele.

[@cmccorquodale2003]

[@zackzaharko89]

I'm a huge Peele fan & NOPE was my #1 anticipated film of the year. This film certainly had a surprise, blockbuster feel to it, all the while being visually striking & the sound mix was incredible. I felt this was his most ambitious of all his films; yet lacked focus more times than needed (ie. chimp?). Still would give an 8/10 for solid direction, creativity, acting & sound mix.

[@maxi3891]

I just came out of the theatre watching this movie for the first time since it only came out in NZ on Thursday and my god what a movie I really enjoyed this film it was a very interesting film and I will definitely watch this again one of my favourite movies of the year and possibly my Top 5 this year. SPOILERS AHEAD!! What I thought was one of the most disturbing scenes was the monkey scene it just had something to it that just made it so unsettling and just how there had been no background music or anything it just makes you watch everything go down and people being brutally murdered. But there was also the scene that happened a few minutes after which had been when everyone had been sucked up. What I thought about this scene was that it was very chilli g and terrifying just seeing everyone being digested by the alien and see them scream in fear it’s a great way to capture how dangerous and horrifying this alien is. I also like the plot with the Haywoods and how they want to get the Oprah shot so they can become rich and have a good life. anyways this movie is one of the best of this year.

[@Trill_Tour]

Jordan Peele and Ari Aster are both 1-1 so far.

[@connormuise]

I thought it was GREAT despite the departure from his earlier films. The creativity in the design of ship as shown in the third act BLEW ME AWAY

[@Kieran2502]

I loved the first half of the film and especially the Gordy segement, but the film totally lost me when the UFO twist was revealed. I was expecting an experiecne closer to 'Signs' but was disappointed that it turned into a blockbuster/monster film.

[@cashaetaylor7466]

Actually, I got everything he was saying in All his movies. A lot of times, a lot of people don't want to use their brain in movies.. but i like mystery types of movies.. you got to figure stuff out - so i know the movie didn't appeal to everybody but it is such a good movie! ❤❤❤❤

[@eshankamarsu9555]

To be completely honest, I don't know what to feel about this movie. I think the cinematography is gorgeous and it is a really good-looking movie! But story wise I just didn't understand it. I know all of his movies have deeper meanings to them. I really enjoyed GET OUT, I was hit and miss on "US" but I really do not know what to make of this movie from a story standpoint. The acting, cinematography, and directing were all great and I really respect this movie's ambition but the story is one I think I'll have to watch again to fully grasp it. I just did not really get the story to give an accurate grade on it but if you were to put a gun to my head off my first viewing I would give it a 6/10. An average UFO movie on first viewing to me but I am sure it's only going to get better to me the more I watch it!

[@boomstickcritique902]

Personally, I thought Get Out was Great US was solid but not great more a good fine movie. So I'm not sure what to expect from this one it has better ratings from people than US but still below Get Out part of me feels Peele peaked with Get Out and I feel like all his films and work after has suffered from that I also hated his CandyMan reboot which he wrote but didn't direct his Twilight Zone reboot sucked too. From what I see I expect this one to be a solid movie but not great.

[@mapjstudios]

Agreed Sean - I was a big fan!

[@tparkerevans7165]

It’s a huge improvement over Us and I actually slightly prefer it over Get Out. I do enjoy social commentary on my films sometimes but I love how NOPE took it a step back on it (it was there but a lot more subtle). I give it a 9/10. NOPE > Get Out >>>>> Us

Am I missing something that everybody else is seeing? Maybe I'm being too harsh by comparing it to Get Out, which I loved... I didn't love this movie. I don't think I even liked it. Keke Palmer is said to be the standout, but most of her lines felt forced and I didn't really laugh at anything she said, or any of the comedy in this movie while other people in the theater around me were cracking up... Daniel Kaluuyah was stale to the point that I had no investment in his character. The first hour was pretty boring. I don't know. This just didn't land with me at all.

We get that flashback scene with Daniel's character and their father training what she believes is her horse and that's it. Overall, kind of disappointed.

[@eliassettbassett643]

@@dvitoc well in his defense I'll say that he makes very "black" movies in the same vane as Spike Lee kind of. Basically he just wants to write stories about black people, his own race and let's face it there's a hell of a lot less black actors than white actors. So personally I don't really see a problem with it. It's the same thing with directors like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg who for the most part choose to make movies where their own race are the main characters. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Should he have said to that? Probably not but personally I think he just wants to tell black lead stories and that's cool. Also he casts white people in his movies all the time so he's definitely not racist, he just chooses to have black lead stories that's all.
