I watched this movie my thumb on the fast-forward button. The dialogs were lame AF, and the backstory can be written on a postcard, then the postcard sent somewhere in Alabama as a joke. But the scenes where the humans fight the amazing alien are really stunning. The way they imagined a creature that can literally be its own space ship, a life form that can't be reasoned with, with its own predatory agenda is really good. Unlike Moya, the female Leviathan spaceship from Farscape, it is not made clear whether the alien in Nope is sentient, or just a wild predator. And that may be the most frightening aspect of it.

I share the common opinion: Two first season were masterpieces, third was a total disaster with a couple of Mary Sue, weak white people, etc, but season 4 was not bad, even if it was convoluted. Season 5 could have been better.

We will never know. Another great series bites the dust. What is the point of building such a rich universe during 4 seasons, and then drop everything? So much wasted potential. Maybe the scenarist were not up to the task. Nonetheless, this should have been lead to its conclusion. I was hoping to see Anthony Hopkins rising from the dead.

When HBO eventually file for bankruptcy, in a year or two, I'll cheer.
