    Absolutely fell in love with this. You just know they're in for some shit as soon as the first thing goes wrong.

    It's so clear that every little detail was carefully considered: the digital interfaces, ambient sounds, casual conversations among crew members at the dinner table, I can go on and on...

    Not to mention the beautifully-twisted world that H.R. Giger is so known for. Again, down to the nitty-gritty details. Ridley Scott saw his Giger's work shortly before this script was green-lit and said something along the lines "I've never been so sure of anything in my life".

    A heartbreaking story of a man who had a promising career as a professional basketball player, but never quite "made it".
    This film exposed to me to the inhumanity that occurs in the NBA, especially in draft picking process. Early on the film, a man compared drafting to a slave auction, and that idea continued to resonate with me as Lenny's life began to unfold.
    On the flip side, it served as a wake up call for my own life…
