Saw it this afternoon and loved it (I have a lot of appreciation for just about everything Peele has done so far, so I'm not surprised.)

It again works on multiple levels, but the primary plot / story was so entertaining that I honestly didn't think about most of it until I was out of the theater and trying to figure out how everything fit together (or maybe I was just too tired today to process it all in real time.)

Haven’t seen yet but was super stoked to see Keke Palmer wearing a Jesus Lizard shirt in the trailer. I’ve only seen two movies in a theater since the Rona started but I’m considering going for this one.

Saw it this weekend and actually thought about making a C/NC poll, as this is the kind of film that prompts discussions with your date after it's over.

I ultimately enjoyed it, though Daniel Kaluuya's character seemed pretty jaded by everything that was happening, that was a little hard to believe. I've read that it's a bit of an homage to Spielberg films, I enjoyed picking out the references to other films he had a hand in.

I'm wary now after Get Out was so good and Us was so terrible.

I loved Us too, so maybe I'm not the best source

I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it, which was kinda cool. Enjoyed it a lot - nothing earth changing or anything, but a cool presentation of a monster movie in a different way.

There’s a fair amount of subtext you can dissect within some of the plot lines, or you can kinda turn off your brain and just let it take you on a fun ride if you want,

I saw it two weeks ago and thought it was just okay. It had a lot of interesting pieces but I was underwhelmed by how they were put together.

Kinda my takeaway too. I almost suspect the Stephen Yeun chimp thing was added because the main story was a little thin.

I went in knowing almost nothing. I really like the idea and enjoyed it but am also baffled by it. Seems like it needed more work. I mean, was it a comedy? I certainly wasn't expecting one. But a lot of the dialog was SO DUMB and over the top I laughed out loud. No one else did. There were also some plot holes the size of M. Night Shyamalan plot holes. It probably didn't help that a couple of days before I read that dropping a coin off of the Empire State building only reaches a terminal velocity of 25 MPH.

I'm the weirdo that preferred Us to Get Out.

It might help the velocity if the coin is spit out by a massive being with lots of gas to employ in the spitting.
