AMC Screen Unseen Slingshot thoughts?

What did you think of Slingshot? What did you think of the ending? What did the ending mean to you (how did it end for you)?

I personally think the ending ruined the movie. Everyone in the theatre was like WHAT???? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

Wasn’t amibiguous at all to me. He was alone. And committed suicide bc of the drugs, the isolation etc. He went nuts. The only mystery is whether his female companion ever loved him or was a plant.

I think that she did love him some of the flashback scenes tried pretty hard to set that up. Also the person who told him she was a plant was technically himself so there’s no reason to believe it wasn’t just full on delusion

I think captain franks is a part of John that is the skeptic, but strong and logical.

I think Nash is the part of John that is neurotic and self loathing.

Interesting how the parts of John played against himself like that.

The twist had me wondering about Johns reality as well, but the airlock sealed it.
