I found the article I read back when I saw it in theaters. It’s only one dude’s opinion, though. Now that I see the rest of the comments here that makes sense. I suppose back then i just took his word for it.
Sorry if my question sounded like an attack 😬
Vandermeer’s writing style deliberately opens his work to different interpretations and it’s rather interesting to see the same happening with this movie adaptation.
Another interesting angle I’ve read is environmental: either in a way that Area X is return to nature (purification) or it’s the opposite (our own destruction of the planet)
Getting ready to re-read the whole trilogy, will definitely include this guy’s cancer perspective as I am going through to see how it fits.
