There's absolutely merit in taking a critical angle on time and place as far as the production of this film is concerned, though I was nonetheless enraptured by a fair few angles Alex Garland's "Men" pushes for. I've seen a great deal of criticism levied at the pregnancy scene that brings the film to a close but I haven't really seen any cases for its body horror utility.

It isn't the most invigorating role on the planet but Hemsworth comfortably dons the arsenal of Tyler Rake in an appropriately foolhardy yet emotionally acclimated role as Extraction's protagonist rifleman. His physicality is hefty and precise, and he makes for a dangerous presence on the screen.
