I will say that the acting was superb.   Daniel Kaluuya was excellent as usual but all of them were great.

Agree. While he didn't have much dialogue, he didn't need more than what he had. His acting conveyed the mood, tone, and authenticity very well even when we wasn't speaking.

My favorite line of his in the movie...... "Nope!".  The theatre I was in all laughed.

I wonder......

how the creature generated the "Cloud" and made it so the cloud never changed shape.

In celebration of catching the thieves, Batman and Robin throw a party for Mogo in the Batcave. 

Tragically, Robin brings Helium balloons which float up and pop on the stalactites.

saw it again last night. It is such an ambitious film for some of the comments already mentioned. I don't know if it sticks the landing, but excellent movie nonetheless

Images from NOPE have been in my head for the last week.  Which is way different than more of the drek movies we've had lately.  I've tried to block the memory from Thor out of my head cuz it was so bad.

But NOPE...... Well done movie.

I agree about the ending.  The change from Spaceship to Organic strange shaped Alien may have been a bit too much, but I still loved the movie.

The motorcycle guy’s acting was on par with the “VIPs” from Squid Game.

This was not a masterpiece as I’ve read here and there. I didn’t think the themes or symbolism were deep at all. 

The acting was well done by most of the cast with the leads stealing it. I loved the reveal but they could have done more with it. The lead-up to the finale with the inflatable men in the field had that fun Jaws “chasing the barrels” vibe. Now that I think about it, the last half hour was Jaws. This is a weird one for me. I think.. I really liked it?  I just kept wanting it to go in certain directions it never went. This will be a good repeat viewing for me. I’d say the concept for Nope is dope.

I’ll add that you could cut this down to a 30 minute segment and throw it into one of Stephen Kings’s Creepshow anthologies. It could also be a perfect one hour episode of Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. And Peele was involved in the new Twilight Zone which has me thinking maybe this was developed for that and he decided to expand it into a full length feature.

Just watched it, thought it was just ok.  Not close to Get Out for me.
