Movie Review: Under the Skin

This film has some very un-nerving scene's but is pulled under by far too many long drawn out scene's and lack of a cohesive story line. At times this movie feels like a horror film other times a documentary and other times Sci Fi.
I appreciate what the director is attempting to do with Scarlett Johansson but it feels too ambitious and comes across sloppy.
The movie absolutely has an Invasion of the Body Snatchers undertone to it and that it what helped me make it to the end of this movie.
Unfortunately 3 scenes in an almost 2 hour movie just isn't good enough. This movie needs to shed about 30 mins of artsy fartsy introspective nonsense.
The Sound track does what it needs to do to elevate the emotions in the film but it just feels too artsy and kinda outdated to me. It makes the movie come across as an overly long episode of The Twilight Zone.

So if you are deciding whether to see this or Captain America Winter Soldier, spend you money on Cap, this'll be on Netflix eventually.
