Every new piece of media is basically just a premise with no ending or reasoning. They make it ambiguous because they don't have to write an ending that gives the story any meaning while at the same time a legion of retards will laud the story as deep and metaphorical and call you a midwit if you don't see how the sequence of incoherent events is actually an epic critique of capitalism.

Not a perfect movie but unironically might be the best video game adaptation ever, although that bar isn't super high to clear. For eceleb movie it's phenomenal.
I give it a light 8/10

He was apart of the group that destroyed Filament Station and clearly feels guilty about the event. Regardless of if he "intended" kill anyone, he was still responsible in some capacity, at least enough to feel guilt over it.

I'd suppose it depends on how marketable your online handle is compared to your real name. Lots of people who might see the movie have at least heard the name "Markiplier", while nearly zero people would recognize Mark Fishstick.

Zoomers do not have the attention span for a two hour psychological horror movie that takes place entirely in a single environment with two characters (one of whom you never even see) and expects you to be able to piece things together on your own.

>>Just like the ending of the game, the mission was a failiure
Was it really a failure?
I mean,Simon was able to recover the data data from SM-8 ship and the black box have reached safely
The movie's ending is genuinely so much better than the game's ending.Not only because the MC didn't end up dying for nothing, but he also redeemed himself for giving humanity some hope
Kudos for Mark for turning something so bleak into something more optimistic without changing its tone
I'm really curious what other horror game movie Mark would adapt and get the same treatment.

This is so fucking true it hurts. Annihilation is the perfect example, along with Hereditary but the movies spawned from those two are 10x worse. Midwits LOVE when a movie is open ended because they can say whatever they want and no one will ever correct them. Even the writer of the film will never correct anyone because he doesn't know himself! They openly admit this when they say shit like "you can really decide for yourself what happens at the end, I won't say anything is wrong because we intentionally wanted to let the viewer decide!".
Fuck you

>>732255658
>an optimistic ending for that is dumb
I get what you're saying, but I see it as optimistic because the MC didn't up dying for nothing and ended redeemed himself by giving valuable information that was considered unobtainable. It's a lot less bleak than the game's ending for that
>>732255723

I don't know if Mark wants to adapts another game made by the same guy as the previous
Was thinking maybe SOMA since it's similar to Iron Lung in being another cosmic horror game

Imma be real with you
The game is boring as shit
Most of the time you're gonna be spending pinpointing your location using the coordinates and where are you facing
It's one of those games where you better off watching someone play it since you don't have to deal with the gameplay
Alternatively, you could pirate the game and see it for yourself
>>732256262
Not really
The blood is actually real and not a figment of imagination like how some stuff in Silent Hill. Although the movie does dive into stuff makes you question what is real or not

Faithful. But not a good watch. Great for game nerds and fans, but that's it. If you don't care about that, this is a mediocre horror movie with barely passable acting, decent visuals, and occasional good moments. For a Youtuber movie, it's an actual movie, so there's that.

Yes, but that hardly matters, the moon is the greater entity. The light doesn't kill/rapture Simon, which pisses off the monster which is being controlled by the moon the blood ocean is in. It looks pretty skeletal, so it's entirely possible the moon can make more. Simon destroyed the glass at the end, turning the sub into a pressure bomb - mirroring how he blew up the station.

I watched it but I'm afraid I didn't really "get" it.
I think it was technically a well constructed movie, but as someone who had no idea what the source material was I feel it needed to give me like two more facts. This is what i gathered from context best I could
>space faring humans
>some apocalypse event 50-ish years in the past that wipes out majority of humans and makes further interstellar travel possible
>moon with an ocean of explicitly human blood appears
>mc of movie is some sort of orphan living aboard a space station with the last tree? I guess this apocalypse also affected organic life at large?
>at some point mc gets duped by charasmatic leader to do some sort of terrorism leading to the destruction of an important space station?
> this lands mc in prison where he's offered a deal by possible government of remaining survivors
>go down in the sub to get ???
>so we can ???
>female wants mc to get sample for reason
>he gets sample but then it's no longer important
>possible supernatural elements introduced, unclear if mc is hallucinating but beings to hear voice of woman from a previous expedition
>i think this is actually a psychic fish/old god torturing who wants to thwart whatever his mission was for some reason???
>pseudo-religious elements introduced, some sort of holy light is mentioned but could just be an analogue for light of an angler fish?
>cue bizarre slow motion sequence and hallucination sequence where something happens
>contact boss female, suddenly she wants the black box of the other sub
>rescue the black box but die
back half of the movie really fell apart for me, didn't understand any character motivations or what's at stake really.
>>

>>732256951
>I guess this apocalypse also affected organic life at large?
>female wants mc to get sample for reason
The Quiet Rapture made every planet with life on it vanish. Not just human life but all life. Grass, trees, fish, bacteria, poof. All gone, only space stations remained. And what he found was an alien skeleton, proof of non-human on a planet after the Quiet Rapture. Its remains could have been groundbreaking, but the scientists considered that it couldn't lead to the production of more life and make the universe habitable again.

No I just fucking hate doomed retards trying to find any random thing they can't to automatically dismiss something good. It's all too common and literally ruins culture by attacking stuff for no reason and without basis.
"I hate that, it's horror"
"I don't play fighting games or MMOs so it doesn't look good to me"
"The minute I found out she was 16 I immediately started spreading the word about this degenerate [insert] - (game/movie/book/TV show"
It's so fucking annoying. People who do that shit are OCD autists so if naming great shows is like holding a cross to a vampire I say MORE POWER TO YOU.

>you can decide for yourself what happens at the end
Everything you type gives me increasingly more secondhand embarrassment. It is actual cringe when someone gets something so basic so wrong but keeps going.
You're right, the movies aren't really that deep. They're 2 hours of surface level metaphor delivery devices. The ending doesn't matter, not as "It's ambiguous you can plausibly say anything happened", but as a "It doesn't matter for what the movie was actually going for". Endings for media like that aren't meant to be a conclusion to the narrative, it's meant to cap off on the themes.
This genuinely isn't this hard to understand I don't know why people pretend it is

It's good enough compared to many other "character stuck in 1 place for the entire movie" films. It's no phone booth or europa report but there are much MUCH worse movies with that premise. Like a girl tied up during a bdsm sesh in a cabin and her husband dies of heart attack during the act.
My problem was Markiplier wasn't the best choice for the actor. He isn't terrible but you are used to seeing his face in a different setting. Imagine if Kojimbo was the main character of Death Stranding instead of Norman Reedus.

"theme" doesn't mean anything absent a story that makes sense. good stories say true things about the world through their narrative structure, or what a theme is a party of. a story that doesn't even have a structure that could relate to anything in reality isn't a story, and if it isn't a story it can't have themes; it's just noise.
and annihilation is indeed a perfect example of that. a movie that literally makes no sense, on purpose. saying that it has themes is like looking into a kaleidoscope and saying that it has themes. and you can always bullshit up some nonsense about how the visual noise you just stared at made you feel all sorts of things so it actually contains all these really deep metaphors and whatever. you'd be wrong and crazy and retarded for doing so, but you could do it.

Are you fucking retarded? It's done because the writer is so shit they don't know how to end the film properly. As someone that's actually written a good amount of short fiction I can assure you that 99% of the time it ends ambiguously it's because the writer couldn't think of anything, likely because they follow the Stephen king school of writing - just make it up as you go along and hope it works out.
This is exactly how they wrote the final season of Stranger Things btw, they admitted to writing episodes almost up to the point of shooting and claimed it was an intentional technique. We all saw how that shit turned out

Acting is fine, like 6.5/10 but never much lower. Honestly the biggest issue is if you know these people it's kind of hard to get over looking at them. I don't know why but it's not like a big Hollywood actor like Tom Cruise who I can just watch and forget about in the movie, during this you kinda can't shake "Yep, that's Markiplier" always in your mind.

It's because you are used to seeing Tom Cruise in different roles. So far you've only seen Mark as that tiny box on your screen that always reacts to indie horror. Also Tom Cruise has experience acting even if he and many others are often playing the exact same role.
Imagine seeing Jason Statham in a romantic drama with 0 action.

He's an outsider from a competing type of entertainment industry with a huge following, and while the movie itself isn't going to exactly do anything impressive returns wise (maybe a couple dozen million, like 24) it's still rocking the boat and they don't want it to trend and become more commonplace.
Hollywood has always been this way, obviously this is a way more higher stakes comparison than Iron Lung but look at American Zoetrope, Coppola's production company from the 1970s, he was a massive success as a director with string of landmark films, he goes and starts his own production company to escape the Hollywood bullshit. He pays workers incredibly well, great work environment, people get a slice of the pie on projects. It's so good his workers become hyper loyal, even working without pay when finances are bad because they WANT to turn the company around. Hollywood sees this and murders the company, backroom deals, backstabber tactics, blacklisting. Even Coppola's peak prestige and Hollywood status meant nothing, they needed his system gone.

1200% return on investment is pretty good.
Just because Hollywood's gone crazy and thinks everything has to be a blockbuster, doesn't mean the medium sized movie is dead and gone. The executives are just blinded by their greed to the extent they're losing out on a valuable market.

It's not really comparable to DUSK at all. It's a very short (30 minutes if you're slow) sort of short film equivalent of a game and it's mostly a vibes thing, the gameplay is hyper basic (the core loop is you pushing 3 buttons to take pictures of things while stuck inside an area the size of a queen sized mattress)

The point is that you're maximally fucked, not just because you're in the most fucked location within the entirety of a post-apocalyptic universe, but because the nature of that apocalypse so completely defies logic that there's no hope of understanding it scientifically, and the only reasonable conclusion is that there is a literal god but he hates you and snapped his cosmic fingers to turn the universe into a nightmare.

Yeah that was weird. It should've been a lot bigger so he's not just heading to the same dumb junction to find yet another hidden compartment. The vent sequence at the end is longer than the sub several times over.

It explains what the refraction is, what it does, how it works, etc. repeatedly. And the ending isn't ambiguous either, it's just a downer.

Annihilation has two books coming after that leave almost no possible ambiguity of anything in the series. It's not even crazy considering each book is so damn short. The movie itself is also changed so there are no lingering questions or even open threads for the rest of the series.

I thought it was fine, but it's hard to make a script that's borderline the Focus M meme work. There's bits where he's meant to be sad or apologetic that don't really get sold.
Script was just kinda ass though so who can really tell. The entire first half is outright bad, picks up after that a bit.

You see, if you use your eyes, and follow the reply chain, the poster originally posited that he was fine with it kind of sucking so long as it was a good adaptation, and the argument in counter was that it wasn't even good on that metric.
So the overall argument is that the film was bad. This is reading comprehension.
The guy I was arguing with understood this, why'd you feel the need to chime in, dipshit.

Is literally about the rapture. It's a simple plot.
>In the Bible, "blood moons" refer to a prophetic sign described in Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, and Revelation 6:12 where the moon turns blood-red before the "great and terrible day of the Lord," often interpreted as a sign of apocalyptic events or the Second Coming of Jesus.
Game(developer is Christian)/Movie takes place in the middle of it all. Most of humanity and life in the universe is raptured. A great light comes in and sucks everyone into a void. The blood of all creatures in the universe are stored in newly spawned moons. They are not the same ones we know. The creature is most likely satan because its a snake and tempts Simon to give up and kill more people.

You obviously weren't paying attention. When the apes touched the monolith, they developed tool use. When humans touched the one on the moon, they developed AI and more advanced space ship tech and headed to Jupiter where there was another monolith. The victorian room is obviously all in his head, it's how Dave's human mind conceptualized his "death" as a human entity while he ascended to his new form, the giant baby represents his transcendence into a new form of life.

Yes because there was no demand for the movie until the kiddos started showing demand. Why would theatres show a movie if there is zero demand for it?
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing that fans got their local theatre to show the movie but you can't expect the demand for it to be so high that everyone will show it

Brother I have seen the movie dozens of times after reading the book(s) and have seen it with 4 different people. None of them got what the fuck happened near the end and one of them is much smarter than me and well-read.
Until you see/read 2010 the logical conclusion most, including them, would reach is that that he was transported to another dimension made to look like something comprehensible where the monolith gives him some closure.
Literally none of them could explain why the fuck is there a planet sized baby orbiting Earth.

No not really. It's very overrated, if you've played system shock or dead space then you've already seen its themes done much better. The gameplay is like a 1:1 of resident evil and not in a good way, it just feels like your average derivative indieslop.

Ironically, the man who posted the original tweet is an older millennial, not a zoomer. It's a play on the wordcel vs shape rotator meme where wordcels excel in verbal and literary contexts and shape rotators excel in technical and visuospatial contexts. The term art rotator is implying that you don't get caught up in the minutia of plot details and instead are able to appreciate a work of art for its aesthetic, tonal, and structural qualities, viewing the "shape" of the craft rather than just the "logic" of the plot/script.

It's similar to a lot of what he plays lately - short, simple premise games made by small indie devs looking for a review by someone with a sizeable following. Most are still only demos and he plays them a bit, offers his opinions on what's good and what needs improvement, and leaves it at that. He did re-review Iron Lung after a large update, so clearly he found it intriguing enough to go back to.

So a guy in his 30s? I’m 34 but there are definitely trend-chasing cretins of my generation who encourage bizarre shit that does little to help young people’s already miserable grasp of the English language.
Is there really any use in turning the word “rotator” into an abstraction that implies the viewer is literally spinning it around in their head to see it from all angles? Lmao. It’s just so fucking tacky. SURELY there is a better way to phrase this concept. Eggheads who write textbooks have better creative thinking than clowns like this.

Sure, but unlike those movie studios he has a big audience already there to market to, and has every other youtube basically advertising his movie for free to their audiences.

The funny thing too is that Iron Lung was originally only slotted for around 1000 theaters in the US and now it has a full wide release of over 3000 theaters. I saw it in a small college town in Texas that usually only has mainstream movies in it.
>>
>>732298657
Sure it’s not the same thing, but it’s still pretty impressive nonetheless. No one expects one guy with little industry experience to be able to make something competent. I mean the expectations are usually pretty low even with someone who has that kind of resource advantage. He could have shit out something extremely mediocre and probably still gotten away with it, but he didn’t. He was in over his head and didn’t cut corners, which is extremely based. I don’t care how much money he had to work with—he clearly didn’t spare any expense in making sure the movie didn’t ruin his reputation and met his *own* standards.

Studios tend to spend half again as much on promotion as they do on making the movie itself. It's become a problem as movie-making costs are skyrocketing to such an extent it's almost impossible to make a profit, especially with streaming eating into theatre revenues.

Simple, have the movie feel like your standard survival/slasher horror movie and near the end when she meets the witch, have the chase sequence be filmed with a bunch of quick jump cuts and angles that hide her face and then she escapes and meets her father. He points the gun at the witch and then the camera zooms upward and you just hear a gunshot. Roll credits, make people think the movie is done. Post credits scene is an extra 10 minutes revealing all the events that happened, replaying the scenes from her perspective and filling in all the blanks

Both the game and the movie drop you into an incredibly ambiguous setting where no one in-universe has any fucking idea what happened and is desperately trying to make sense of an impossibly grim situation.
Both give very little in-depth context as is typical with "cosmic horror" so you're not really missing any context at all.
