I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies! When I first realized I was watching

    … I was astonished. And I’m still floored by the expansive idea of it to this day.

      Yeah! I thought the movie did a great job making sense of the recurring archetypes/ characters. Okay we’re friends now
