This movie is probably not for everyone, as a lot of the plot can go over many viewers heads, due to the advanced nature of the story structure. From the thematic symbolism to the ominous foreshadowing, director Arthur Springs paints a picture our society in its a rawest form, a truly remarkable portrayal of good vs evil.
The use of symbolism, as seen particularly through the character dynamic of Dragon and Killian and what makes them different. For Killian, the flamboyant pink hair represents the fact he operates based on emotions, as seen by his tight bond with his mother. Furthermore, he is never the one that concocts the plans, but rather feeds off of the energy of those formulating the plans, then dives in head first, clearly drunk off of emotion and caught up in the moment of said plans. Meanwhile, Dragon on the other hand, has the lack of hair which contradicts Killian's style, as he keeps everything contained to his self, as opposed to absorbing the energy from around him. This can be understood when he attempts to assassinate Zaphara, as he does so in a selfish manner with no regard for how it may impact the rest of his kind.
Another prominent element that made this movie stand out amongst its peers was the incredible use of foreshadowing. In the scene where you can tell Eve is torn up over her ex boyfriend and his meth and sexual habits, claiming it was the hardest thing to deal with, you knew she was in store for something even more traumatic...if that's even possible! It even goes a step further to show Jeff stalking her, which wouldn't be the last time that would happen! Her character development is seen in every scene, as it just continually builds upon her, until the end when you begin to have faith that she is the right person to be the savior of earth and humanity.
In conclusion, the movie was dope but I was really expecting some boobz or a Vince Kelvin makeout.
