Listen up folks. Jordan Peele’s Nope is coming to Malaysian cinemas! That’s right, we actually get the chance to watch his brand new suspense thriller (and one of the best movies of 2022!) on the big screen.
Now we already know that you’re going to watch this movie. But just in case you needed a little nudge in the right direction, we’ve put together the definitive list on why you should watch this in cinemas.
1. It’s a Jordan Peele Movie!
Can you believe this is only his third feature? You liked Get Out. You liked Us. You know you’ll like Nope. Jordan Peele has once again blown away our expectations with yet another masterful film that will keep you on the edge of your seat, with your eyes glued to the screen. Why?
2. It’s the Most Suspenseful Movie You’ll See This Year
As my grandmother would say: “Damn tension lah this movie!” Nope starts with one of the most tense openings ever and the suspense doesn’t let up until the credits start rolling. This is a movie that will keep you guessing. What’s more, you will be talking about the mystery at the core of this movie for days after. We promise.
3. It’s a Spectacle
Nope is big! There is a big bad monster in the sky. There is a killer chimp. There are horse chases through the California desert. This is a great popcorn flick that will leave you out of breath by the end of it. Trust us when we say that you need to watch this on the biggest screen possible.
4. Did We Mention It’s a Jordan Peele Movie?
Jordan Peele has the amazing ability to make a movie with a message without making the movie be about the message. On the surface, Nope is a fun, rollercoaster ride of a movie. But investigate deeper – or watch it again, and again (we know you will!) – and you begin to notice all the hidden themes and messages that make this movie so much MORE than just another monster movie.
5. It’s a Great Monster Movie
Don’t get us wrong. Yes, there may be a lot going on in this movie thematically, but it is still an awesome monster flick. There is an alien creature on the hunt and humans on the run. Nope is familiar and fresh at the same time. Jordan Peele has updated the great monster movies of the past and brought it forward into the 21st century.
6. It’s One of the Most Beautiful Movies You’ll See This Year
Compared to Nope, Jordan Peele’s previous two movies feel intimate. With Hoyte van Hoytema (cinematographer for Tenet, Interstellar, Dunkirk) by his side, and the wide expanses of southern California as his inspiration, Jordan Peele is painting on a massive canvas. You can watch this movie without any sound and still be caught up by how perfect it looks.
7. Err… It’s a Jordan Peele Movie!
Listen, this should be reason enough for you to want to watch this movie. This guy is one of the greatest directors of this generation and you don’t want to be the only sad loser who hasn’t watched it in cinemas. Think about it. You’re at the mamak with your friends who are all talking about the best movie they’ve seen this year, while you’re just sitting there, smiling awkwardly, and pretending to understand what’s going on. Don’t be a saddo. Don’t be silly. Don’t be that person. Go watch Nope in cinemas.
