I always knew she was better than the Jessica Albas and Blake Livelys of the world yet Hollywood never really did enough to showcase that.<br /><br />It was at times, scary to watch since her character is an alien while I was also ravaged by the fact that she isn't saying much and allows herself to be very restrained which not many actors could do. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-70264467055019977932014-04-30T15:09:09.180-07:002014-04-30T15:09:09.180-07:00The premise sure sounds audacious, but I've be...The premise sure sounds audacious, but I've become more curious about this than I initially was. Nice to hear Scarlett is very good here, I've come to like her more than I did say 2-3 years ago as well.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-43491273316158254132014-04-25T12:47:40.583-07:002014-04-25T12:47:40.583-07:00@Alex Withrow-The sound design was one of the thin...@Alex Withrow-The sound design was one of the things about the film that won me over. It's already in my top 5 films of 2013.

I'm going to be thinking about this film for a long, long while.

I wonder if I'll be mesmerized enough by this one to forgive them for stripping the story out of all its book's meaning, it does seem very different from the novel.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-41790015573279320932014-04-21T11:22:27.238-07:002014-04-21T11:22:27.238-07:00@Brittani-I actually heard that the film is differ...@Brittani-I actually heard that the film is different from the book yet it's worth seeking out not just for its visual but also its minimalist approach to storytelling.<br /><br />@Chris-I downloaded the soundtrack a few days ago and it is very effective. Right now, if I was to make any Oscar considerations. I would nominate this film for Johansson's performance, its screenplay, editing, and sound design.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-75066541797803705682014-04-21T08:54:05.339-07:002014-04-21T08:54:05.339-07:00Can't wait to see this one, the trailer looks ...Can't wait to see this one, the trailer looks awesome!
