I dug it. Could have been better but I liked everything about it. I appreciate that Nicholas Cage gave the movie the time of day. His name on the ticket could make the difference between obscurity (or not getting made at all) and release.
It started out a touch slow. I'm glad the hydrologist survived. I like Cage, I liked the alien.
My interpretation is this organism survives and feeds off color. It fires up the imagination about what's out there.
I like that Nicholas Cage got so bonkers he would sacrifice his daughter to keep his wife alive just that little bit longer, and perhaps keep doing it with people who stop by.
I liked the ending too. It could have ended on the fade to white, which would imply the loss of all color on the planet (and perhaps Armageddon) but they chose to show only a portion of of the space has been completely robbed of its color, therefore implying it's only just begun?
Yep, I liked it. Could have been better, tighter, but I liked it anyways. Thumbs up.
Interesting. I didn't come to that conclusion at all and I still don't because the color is already a part of the meteor before it even comes in contact with the stuff around it. I saw it as just being about an entity that transforms and destroys and the color is the radiation that is causing the stuff that is happening. I agree that the point is to fire up the imagination about the unknown in the universe and the movie is effective in that regard.
