I thought it was terrible. Great concept, awful execution. The bear and the cave scene at the end were really good, of course, but everything else fails movie-making 101. Weak characters, weak script, even the acting could have been better. Overall not a good sci-fi movie.
This, however, is my view. If you really enjoyed it, as many have, don’t let this change. It just means you and I were looking for different things.

Alex Garland adapted the book into film from memory, which given then themes of the story is incredibly apt.

Similar for me, but with a different movie - The Holiday. Two women who have bad relationships end up swapping houses for Christmas and each others' social circles help them out of their ruts.
I much prefer Iris' story compared to Amanda's, even if I do like her storyline as well. Iris makes friends with an old Hollywood screenwriter who knows all about how stories and outright uses his knowledge of movies to help her recognise her own flaws and strengths.

it's a great movie and a great book, even though they are totally different.

Maybe this is a joke that is wooshing me, but in case it’s not, the movie in question is:

Not Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

This right here.
You want an example - he made a short novella - The Langoliers - which is great character building, great tension, and then we get to the reveal and the end - it is impressively awful.

I love martial arts, but I don't like superhero films which all contain fighting scenes these days.
I did enjoy that Thor movie with the Matt Damon cameo

King used to be known for setting an amazing story for 95% of it and having the ending fall apart. I don’t think that’s quite fair but some of his work does have weaker endings that maybe stop them at good stories rather than great/masterpieces.

And some characters were immediately giving suspicious glances as well. Now I have to watch it again.

I thought it was good but sorta fell off towards the end. I watched it like 2-3 years ago so I don't recall what was weird towards the end. Also the bear scene was fucking terrific.

It was beautiful visually. There are some scenes in that movie that still haunt me, in a good way. Though tbh the relationship issues that set up the film were kind of dull. But overall I enjoyed it.

Love Terminator 2. Not a fan of action movies otherwise!
