I've been there, hombre.
Go see it! It was produced by Joss Whedon, and written by him and Drew Goddard. AKA is was awesome. I avoided watching the trailer because it was apparently spoilerish, so going in completely blind was awesome. Also, do not be like that couple we argued with after the movie was over who hated it because it "wasn't scary."

There's no such thing as a "scary" movie.

It's okay. It works more as a brainy excercise than a movie, like one of those scripts you read that seems interesting but you can't imagine would actually get made. I don't really know why they're going to such lengths to keep everything a secret -- pretty much everything of consequence is laid out in the first ten minutes, and we get an omniscient view of everything, so there are very few real surprises.
If the words "It's a comment on genre!" actually mean anything to you, you'll probably like it.

Fuck Shit Stack.
Eh I already watched the movie two years ago when they were working on it at rhythm & hues.

GO SEE IT. NOW. DO NOT WAIT.
If you are a true horror fan, you owe it to yourself to see this movie NOW.
Why are you still here?!
Also, let's keep the spoilers down (or at least marked as such) guys, seriously. There are lot of surprises in this movie.

That was pretty wild, and possibly one of the most meta things I've ever seen

Actually I was thinking the same thing lol but it's all pretty specific as to what's needed, as is indicated.

After all, I didn't see a blue-collar worker on one of the collection stones, did you? :P

yes
The poster got me super intrigued but I've been trying to avoid reading anything about it before seing it.
It's been very long since I've seen a movie I knew absolutely nothing about and from what I hear this is exactly the type of movie you want to see with zero prior knowledge of it.

This was one of the elite few, the movie that made me want to sneak back in and watch it again.
It is so damn good, oh man.

This movie left me leaving the theater satisified in a way that I haven't felt in quite a while. I'm with reido, I'm really jonesing to go see it again.

One thing I did like was:
Spoiler:

This was the first time in years that I was actually surprised by a surprise cameo, rather than some random cockbite writing a blog comment or INCLUDING IT IN THE REVIEW before the movie opens.
Also, I haven't seen anyone else ask this, but who was actually responsible for sabatoging the operation? I mean making it so the pot wasn't laced and the cave didn't blow. Was this kept ambiguous or did I just totally fall asleep when it was revealed?

I'm pretty sure it's mentioned that Marty traded the laced pot for his regualar stuff, or that the fact that he smokes so much--or the specific weed he smokes--made him immune to Chem's attempts to control him. I can't remember if this was actually in the movie or something I read someone speculating later, though, so take it with a grain of salt.
Also--the cave in didn't go off because of a power surge, probably caused by Marty fucking around with the elevator controls. "Upstairs" is the killing ground.

This was definitely one movie that I went into blind. I'd watched the trailers but really, they don't reveal all that much. I managed to read reviews just to get people's general impression but actively avoided any spoilerific reviews.

Sigourney Weaver's cameo was a
complete
surprise. And I loved it. When The Director comes over the PA system, I thought to myself "That sounds like Sigourney Weaver...I guess it's just a vocal cameo." And then she actually appeared and my jaw literally dropped.
reido is right. It was actually mentioned. It's almost in passing but it is indeed mentioned that

Marty was immune to the toxins that they were using because of what he was smoking. My guess is, is the marijuana was just plain making him immune and not that he'd switched it with another batch or anything like that. I think the 'puppeteers' just didn't take that into account. I really don't remember anything being said about trading his stash, but I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure it was just the fact that he was smoking it that made him immune.

Saw it the other day. It's a fun little flick. I don't think it's at the sheer level of brilliace that some are making it out to be but you could do worse for a couple hours of your time.
I'd say for me the most notable thing about the movie is that they took the standard character achetypes and gave them just enough of a twist to make it a bit more intersting.
