The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
The Natalie Portman at the end is either the full alien with pieces of Natalie Portman (like the husband) or original Natalie Portman who has been refracted already so much that she has enough alien DNA in her to change her. Natalie Portman and OscarvIsaac are going to mate and make alien babies. A super race and/or major jump in evolution will result, a la 2001
Finished the book last night and am still chewing on it. Not sure what I think yet.
The sci-fi/horror elements never really landed for me. Area X felt both over-described yet under-developed.
At times it reads like an extended, multi-layered metaphor for grief and/or depression. Like, it's purely psychological, in the Biologist's head. None of the shit is actually happening.
But from what I understand books 2 and 3 go into greater detail, which would complicate/negate that interpretation.

Now see I would watch that sequel

A fun, light, yet ultimately forgettable book that never had me interested in a sequel becomes a dull, obvious, shopworn, and inconsequential film. There are things to like about both but neither are gripping or satisfying enough. I hope there is no film sequel.
I was talking about me actually. I wont see another. But still i dont see how they could do another one really, everyone seemed to hated or be bored by it and it didnt made money so...

The critics and some people liked it. But that doesn't matter. The money part is what matters.
