The Host Reviews

Picture: Me, age 13, absolutely losing my sh*t in the theater as “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons plays (my ringtone at the time), the camera pans up to a starry sky, and the credits start rolling. This is where I was first introduced to Saoirse Ronan, Jake Abel, and Max Irons.

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN IN THE MODD FOR LIKE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. SOOOOO GOOOD the guy that was in love with wanda handling like the little life form so gently was soooo sweet and the ending was like super satisfying for me.

I was obsessed with the book as everyone says (I know how cliche and cringe) but the book was better just because there where scenes I wanted to see in the movie but overall I love the movie as a separate but connected thing

👍🏽

Had high hopes, was soooo 2010

i did not expect much from this, and it’s not the most visually stunning film, but i was surprisingly pleased with and a bit moved by it. there’s plenty of weird things about the movie but ur interested the whole way and every time i thought it was getting a bit slow, it picked up. leaves some unanswered questions about the ‘aliens’ but they can be easily overlooked as the overwhelming storyline is more centered around humanity’s love and longing for individuality + the relentlessness to survive. i thought the acting from everyone was superb, especially saoirse ronan. she was so gentle as wanda which captivates u, pulling u between the species. but jamie??? jeb??? jared??? give all the J’s oscars. and the ending is chefs kiss. wish i knew about the book first.

“the universe will be a darker place without you…”
“…i finally found something to die for”
script hit me embarrassingly hard. rotten tomatoes laughs at me. 7/10

I had read the book first & was so excited for the movie! The movie is a cute syfy - romance that is really about the experience of being human I love it!!

Not what I expected, happily surprised by the ending. Begins as an average, hide from the aliens as they chase you movie but then flips it on its ear. Nothing earth shattering but entertaining, some good emotional stuff. You won’t like it if you’re looking for explosions & fights

i’ve watched this movie at least a dozen times and read the book twice and it never fails to spark an emotional reaction from me. one of the most beautiful stories of humanity and love there is

6/10

Not very nice 👩🏻👩🏻‍🦰🧑🏻🧑🏻🦠

Very interesting with a great story line

The love triangle/square (or what you wanna call it) was hella weird

Thanks to a review I saw here, I had radioactive by Imagine Dragons stuck in my head during this movie

Movie was good but why did it absolutely blast Radioactive by Imagine Dragons at the end?
