Pattinson truly holds this together with an incredibly physicality as he inhabits a body that is both new/pristine but also etched with so many horrible deaths. Quite fun very goofy hope bong gets to make another wacky sci fi gallivant at the heavy expense of another studio sometime soon

It is so hallucinatory that I almost fell asleep during…
