Jordan Peele has struck theaters again with yet another masterpiece. And yet again, it's completely different than what we'd expect.

This IMAX-shot spectacle, comes a story of a mourning brother and sister, an alien fanatic, UFO sightings and horses, all while taking on the US versus THEM tale. Jordan tackles our sense of trust, not only deceiving us with trailers but also in what the threat is.

The sound wraps the terror in a hauntingly beautiful way, lending us the ears of our heroes. Whether it's the dying vocals through phones, an overhead saucer diving through clouds, the sound of clomping hooves or the absolute absense of it all - everything is weaponized well to execute its mission at unsettling us from the very beginning.

The visuals are outstanding at showcasing an unreal being and the small world it preys on. Hoyte van Hoytema's camera movement swivels as the eyes in moments of focus and panic, following the flying saucer and building suspense. In other times, it works at exposing the sheer vastness of the empty California grounds. With little to no gore, Jordan Peele still shocks the audience with an even larger metaphorical beast: exploitation in entertainment.

The cast is brilliantly chosen, with Daniel Kaluuya portraying an introverted clever OJ, Keke Palmer as his bright-eyed sister, Emerald, and many others that feel as real as the looming threat to their lives.

Although this film and Don't Look Up should definitely change names, this still encapsulates the feeling I felt the entire time. The messed up concepts, and the need to ignore the monster outside have never been stronger in my life and kept me audibly reacting throughout.

As awesome as this flick was, it is in no way shy of some more work. The dialogue for the first act was dry and the jokes fell mostly on the weak side. Only when the aliens arrive and afterwards does the story truly pick up in the dialogue aspect, but only by a little. A certain character acts unintelligently at one point for no real reason despite them being knowledgeable of the risks, they foiled the plan furthermore, taking me out of the moment.

One of the subtle themes of NOPE is the reoccurring exploitation for entertainment and the consequences of meddling with dark nature. From a rampaging animal to a cosmic-horrifying creature, Peele depicts how the primary tragedies were partly, if not totally at the fault of human hands.

Similar to Kubrick, Jordan Peele puts these human characters to their limits and determines how much humanity can get away with before it cuts them back, and he does it cleverly.
