Hey guys, we had a bit of an audio issue around the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c6DY5SXugg&t=2210">36:50</a> mark. I am uploading some replacement audio that removes this. If you go to the video settings and select the English track it should play it without the fault. This is all me testing this out so apologies if it doesn't work but that should sort the issue. Please be safe in the knowledge that the editor responsible for this has been executed. Thank you for your time.

When Nathan imagines how he would later tell the story of Caleb's God quote, he says, "Caleb looked up at me," even though in the real scenario, he is sitting below Caleb. However, he automatically recounts the story with himself in the dominant, worshipped position.

Confirming Caleb was so utterly alone also ensured no one would notice when he never returns from the trip.

When you realize that this was Oscar Issac playing a modern era Frankenstein, his casting in the new GDT Frankenstein film makes it a poetic companion piece.

I think the reason why Nathan told Caleb about how he illegally spied on people to get the data was because he planned on Caleb dying from the beginning.

That first knife stab by Koiko was so slow, its now a core memory.

You forgot to mention the actresses who played Ava and Kyoko had formal ballet training. Which Garland used to convey their subtle smooth-robotic performances.

This movie is incredible. Start to finish, it never misses. Alex Garland knocks it out of the park.

Oscar did an interview going over roles he's played and he went into detail about that dancing scene and how much he loved aggressively disco dancing at him.

I finally got to actually watch the movie again and noticed a couple things that were missed. First is when Caleb and Nathan are in the kitchen on the last day. Caleb tried to get Nathan drunk and Nathan declines the drink telling Caleb to drink it himself. Caleb then takes a couple drinks during that conversation, but he actually never drinks any of the alcohol. He brings the liquid very close to his lips, but it never touches. He doesn't want to get tipsy when he knows the escape is about to go down. <br><br>Second Kyoko never actually stabs Nathan; she holds the knife out and Nathan backs into it. I assume Nathan was smart enough to put in some sort of programming rule that didn't allow her to do things like try to hurt him or try to escape.

One of my absolute favs - I went to an indie film theater to watch it with a friend and I had no idea what the movie was really about. By the end of the film i was blown away. I've watched it with other friends over the years and i never get tired of the film
