What an amazing effort! This is not a film about aliens. It's about human behavior. And it's an art film. Every poor review I've read here--of which there are many--is from someone who didn't get the message. Very few rave amateur reviews even got it. I didn't appreciate the film much myself until reading professional reviews containing *intelligent* spoilers. The people writing reviews here with spoilers didn't get it. Now I want to see the film again! Many things I was disappointed about actually fit perfectly with Peele's message, and some amazing touches weren't mentioned in any reviews I've seen. For instance, the protagonist OJ frequently has his head down, eyes shielded by his hat, and doesn't look when spoken to. I thought this was a surprisingly poor way to portray a main character, but it's fully intentional and fitting with Peele's message. I recommend not reading intelligent spoilers until you've seen the film. (I've not seen any spoilers in IMDB user reviews that reveal anything of importance.) See what you can discover on your own without being told. Nope is nowhere close to being as transparent in its message as Get Out. Once you figure it out, you'll see Nope is thick with symbolism. If you recognize what motivates Otis, Sr., and understand why he died (which is intimately related to the precise mechanism of his death, not just what killed him), you're on your way.
