What a visually stunning, thought provoking, and uncomfortable (I mean that in the best way possible) movie. Alex Garland knows how to make a hard sci-fi movie and he needs to do more. The visuals and the score are just so trippy and creepy that you just can't look away. Natalie Portman showing off her amazing acting skills. Tessa Thompson and Oscar Issac are both good too.
The whole lighthouse scene I was mesmerized. What an awesome scene. The way the alien started to take form of Lena's face really freaked me out. The lighthouse burning with Lena watching it might be my favorite shot in the movie. And then to end it with Lena and Kane back together but not themselves was a perfect ending. Kinda the same way Ex Machina had a great ending.
EDIT: Even better on rewatch. This is a drop dead gorgeous movie. Watching it in 4k HDR is mesmerizing. The color palate jumps out at you. The score is haunting, especially near the end. The lighthouse is still very uncomfortable.
