I stayed away from pre-release articles like I usually do so the hype mostly flew over my head but I was definitely psyched to see it. The visuals were astounding, as was the sound design. Could've used a little more silence when it comes to the score (couple of cues were a little extra, I would've been happy with just playing a few Brian Eno or Johann Johannsson pieces as the soundtrack then STFU haha) and some dialogue but that wasn't enough to sour me on the flick. Loved the last scene and its representation of darwinism.

Also the list of things that the studio tried to incorporate in the movie is lol-worthy:
