Some thoughts on the film***Spoilers**Spoilers**Spoilers***


I thought they threaded a fine line in the film whereas making the viewer constantly imagine what the hell "rupturing" meant, on one side it seems horrible, it will likely kill you and if it doesn't they will likely kill you, but then there was a part of me that thought, hey they said it would great and I'd be evolved into something higher so why fight it, but oh they said there will be pain involved. How much pain? Will I become a disfigured monster? They made it so I was actually considering both sides of it along with suicide when she hit that dead end to the roof I thought slit your throat with the exacto knife woman. She had certainly saw a lot of f'ked up *beep* crawling through those tunnels to make her go that route.

Did anyone else at times think maybe she should just roll with it and see what happens? Even when the nurse went all crazy melty face she was able to revert back to regular human form. Three pupils equal incredible vision along with advanced hearing and all kinds of untapped potential, the thing is that while kindly encouraging her they didn't ease her mind at all about the very possible bad ending it could have.

Maybe I'm warped, but after all that talk I wasn't rooting for her escape. I wanted to see her rupture(I needed to see it,lol), not for her to escape and get free of the place or be brainwashed and put back into society with a UFO story. That was one awesomely memorable scene when the plastic exploded off her head during the rupture, however bizarre.

But why oh why did they tack on that end scene afterwards of her being this cold b!tch still attached to all the things they said she would be free from. She wasn't content or willing which took a gigantic crap on what we were led to expect from the film. I can't see anyone being happy with that ending and you have to wonder how incompetent some filmmakers are when they tack on an ending totally inconsistent with the film before it.

Ditto, except I thought she should have located some wire cutters if she really wanted out of that roof. I recall tools sitting around and she located the bathroom, so she could probably locate a storage closet with some kind of tool.

Anyways, that ending, blah, solid movie without that part. It didn't fit at all, she gave in. I mean personally I'd be down with evolving but I get the apprehension to pain/death. She didn't seem to want it, I feel like she should have been more intrigued by them.

Her actual rupture was very cool, we needed to see it happen. :)

They should have provided us with the clues that she would be the new mother rather then telling us at the end, really just cut that ending and its mostly there.

I actually liked the ending where she still had some emotion towards her son, but I think that's because I watched it from the perspective of a mother. When they described what was going to happen to her when she ruptured I actually thought the worst part of it would be to be emotionless for the rest of her life. If I woke up tomorrow and just suddenly didn't love my kids I think I'd rather die to be honest. So I like that the end was kinda hopeful, like maybe she could have something normal left even though she turned into a freak.
