It's a quiet sci-fi film. The tone is similar to Moon or Ex Machina.

I found it much more disturbing and odd than either of those two films. I really enjoyed Ex Machina, and Moon to a lesser degree. However, I can't say the same for Under the Skin.

This is one of my top five favorite sci-fi films. 10/10
Agreed wholeheartedly! I loved the vibe of this flick. Had some Kubrick overtones in some scenes.

All three films are quiet which is all I was saying. And not to go in expecting something loud like Lucy.

im fine with quiet, I prefer movies like that, the quiet thinkers are the best movies IMO

Kubrick overtones sounds amazing to me, The Shining is my favorite movie so thats music to my ears

Godzilla King of the Monsters: 7.5/10
Liked it. Was a huge Zilla fan as a kid, loved seeing him and Monster 0 throw down again. Some of the human characters were damn annoying though.
