I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Mantis.

Mantis: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

If Mantis was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Mantis actually is?
Rewatched Mantis last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Mantis is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Look, I wanted to love Mantis. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Mantis?
Just got out of Mantis and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
