Oh good, just what we needed—another movie to remind us that we’re insignificant specks in an uncaring universe. Move over, Oppenheimer; Harvest is here to ruin your day in a whole new way.
The Premise: We’re Basically Space Snacks
Aliens show up. They’re invincible. They eat people. Cool, cool, we’ve seen this before. But wait—plot twist! These aliens aren’t even the real bad guys. Nope, they’re just the Uber Eats drivers for some higher civilization that’s decided humans are the new organic, free-range delicacy.
Humanity’s reaction: “Wait, we’re not special? We’re just protein shakes for some intergalactic elite?!”
Cue existential screaming.
The Military Tries (And Fails, Obviously)
General Thomas (because of course his name is General Thomas) gathers the world’s best minds to figure out how to stop the unstoppable. Dr. Elara, the obligatory smart-but-traumatized scientist, drops the bomb:
“They’re not here to conquer us. They’re here to harvest us.”
Translation: “Congrats, Earth! You’ve been downgraded from ‘intelligent life’ to ‘grocery aisle.’”
The Church Scene: Peak Cosmic Comedy
In what might be the most unintentionally hilarious (or horrifying, depending on your sense of humor) moment, a pastor stands before his flock and basically says:
“Maybe being harvested is God’s plan. Who are we to question the universe’s meal prep?”
Congregation: “Amen…?”
Honestly, at this point, you have to laugh—because if you don’t, you’ll just curl into a ball and whisper “we’re all doomed” until the aliens come for you.
The New Normal: Kids Play, Aliens Slay
By the end, society has “adjusted.” People go to work, kids play in alien-proof playgrounds (finally, a use for all that bubble wrap), and everyone tries really hard not to think about the fact that they’re basically livestock.
The final shot? Some poor soul staring at the sky, muttering:
“We’re not the masters of our destiny. We’re just pawns in a game we don’t understand.”
Audience reaction: “Wow, thanks, movie. I was really hoping to spiral into nihilism today.”
Why You Should Watch (Or Maybe Just Hide Under Your Bed)
- No Happy Ending! Because who needs hope when you can have dread?
- Philosophical Torture! Perfect for fans of “What’s the point of life if we’re just alien chow?”
- Military Incompetence! Because nothing says “we’re doomed” like watching generals realize bullets don’t work.
Final Verdict: Depressing, But You’ll Watch It Anyway
Harvest isn’t just a movie—it’s a vibe. A “stare at the ceiling at 3 AM questioning reality” kind of vibe. If you loved The Mist but thought, “You know what this needs? Less ambiguity and more ‘we are food’ clarity,” then congratulations! This is your new favorite nightmare.
Release Date: Whenever Hollywood decides we haven’t suffered enough.
Rating: ★★★★★ (for sheer audacity in making us feel like cattle)
So mark your calendars, grab some popcorn (while you still can, before the aliens take that too), and prepare to face the ultimate truth: The universe doesn’t care about you.
