Film Jordan Peele's NOPE
- Thread starter Salt Bailly
- Start date
I'll watch it cus its Jordan Peele, but what's actually going on?
Too many horses for me
Won't watch
Won't watch
Definitely an alien invasion film.
Didn't the trailer come out ages ago ?
Maybe alien horses?
Apparently NOPE stands for "Not Of Planet Earth"
Trailer looks good but at the end of the day it's a sentient cloud ffs.
Aliens abducted people and sent them back as horses
Horses turn planets into people and horses into planets. Also people turn aliens into planets and then planets into horses.
Don't give marvel any ideas.
They already made Eternals with this exact plotline.
That's what entered my head when I read the post
If Eternals 2 features transforming horses we'll know Kevin Feige reads the Caf.
The aliens are probably White people. Drug addicts with super powers.
Whatever it turns out to be I fully expect it to be fecking amazing. Peele is such an intelligent guy that it certainly won't be a thin plot.
Return to the Planet of Horses!
Really looking forward to this. Loved both Get Out and Us, and the trailer for this has me pumped.
Daniel Kaluuya is just great. Love him in everything he's in.

It’s a cracking trailer anyway. So sick of trailers which are basically just a plot synopsis.
Loved Get Out and hated Us.
Hopefully this is good but I have my doubts.

They showed this at The Batman's premier. As far as trailers go it's probably one of the best I've seen in a long time. The audience reaction was palpable, not often seen. Anyway, my daughter and I are all in.
Its either going to be really good or really shite
I do like when trailers don't spoil the whole movie. It's why I was so into the Cloverfield trailer and movie from years ago
Insane theories flying around off the back of that. Movie was a tad underwhelming, mind.
I watched it in cinema and really enjoyed the experience as I wasnt sure what to expect and the 'monster' was better than I expected.
Most of the 'monster' reveals are normally a disappointment.
Hopefully the reveal for Nope is good. Ive enjoyed Peeles movies so far.
So haven't too many people seen this till now?
Check the movie review thread, there's been a few posts about it this week
Enjoyed the giant cowboy hat messing everything up.
I left the movie being more terrified of apes then aliens. Jesus that was grim.
Thank you. Checked this out.
Aliens can be escaped by avoiding eye contact. What do you with the apes?!
Same as with dogs and @ThehatchetMan Stick your finger in their anus and hope it distracts them for long enough to escape.
Quite liked this.
I don't want to know what you get up to with your dog lol!! You dirty dog.
Seen it when it came out. Absolutely brutal. Left the cinema thinking what the feck have I just watched?!
Good or bad way?
Is Peele going to go all M Night on us... Some very good scenes but I was left a bit nonplussed with it all. I had no interest in the mystery once revealed. But it did make me think about themes of media consumption and creature dominance, two widely varying topics it had to be said 
The only good part of it was the alien design and they ripped that from Evangelion
NOPE
As with Us, didn't enjoy this as much as I'd hoped. Whilst yeah there's a lot of thematic things, allegories, hidden meanings and deeper layers, JP has forgotten that the base narrative needs to be good first and foremost and these things mentioned need to enhance it. But his films just throw too much at the wall and just leave you (or Reddit) to decipher it for the full experience.
Get Out on the other hand was just a good movie and the layers underneath the hood made it a great movie. It was also single minded in its themes... Whereas this has too many themes running side by side.
Also, the acting and characters were quite shit and the sister character was sooooo annoying. It was still well produced though and great sound design and some tense scenes 5.5/10

Watched this last week. It looks great, and a couple of scenes were outstanding (one in particular), but I just wasn’t that into it, overall. There’s a massive amount going on, but not one plot thread or even a character/performance that holds it together. I think a good 20-25 minutes could have been taken out and it would have been a lot better.
I liked it. Not perfect but better than most of the newer movies I've seen
I didnt quite get the connection between the incident with the kid and the monkey and then his adult self, buying the horses and the later revelation that he was feeding the creature. I guess I can make up my own connection that he likes connections with animals even if others are scared and he misses his monkey friend, with them fist bumping right as he was shot. But the movie didnt make me feel like thats what it is. I'm just grasping at straws after the fact and cant think of anything else
