My Thoughts: I saw this yesterday and originally I had some sort of expectation for it to be good, but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. And I usually don't like Sci-Fi anything, this kept me interested and I enjoyed it althroughout the movie. I was not let down. It was dynamic, I enjoyed the fact that the two people were living in one body, it was interesting to see on film.
I personally would go crazy. But the way Saoirse played these two characters was amazing! Another character I enjoyed seeing was Diane Kruger. She played this obsessive, crazy, Seeker and it was perfectly portrayed. Although I didn't read the book, I felt if I had she'd be perfect.
Another thing was since Wanda and Melanie were two different people, I don't know why but I just didn't take to Melanie that much, I really didn't like her as a person, but I don't know if that was intended or not. She was funny, but I just didn't like her as a person. Wanda was awesome, I loved her! I wanted to hug her. And also one thing I didn't like, it didn't feel like there was much of a sci-fi effect accept for the aliens thing. I think that it was more dystopian than sci-fi to me. Well that's my take on The Host.
