Nope (2022)

A really well made flick!

'Nope' comes across as a pretty unique film, even if the core premise isn't necessarily that. I enjoyed seeing it all come together, the conclusion is the most entertaining part - as it ought to be, I guess. The cinematography, meanwhile, is ace.

I also dig the special effects, although oddly I feel like the main thing's effect slightly (!) dropped off a bit towards the end - but that could just be the fact that we see more of it at that point, as opposed to the prior snippets.

Keke Palmer is excellent throughout, the clear standout in my opinion. Daniel Kaluuya and Steven Yeun are also enjoyable, as are Michael Wincott and Brandon Perea to be fair - albeit less so. Neat to see Keith David involved too, I need to see him in a more prominant role at some point - only ever seems to be a bit-part in what I've seen of him thus far.
