Ava DuVernay's visually adventurous adaptation of the beloved (and "unfilmable") sci-fi/fantasy kids novel shares some of the apocalyptic themes of Alex Garland's film - as well as some of its ability to confound.

Plus, Filmspotting Madness: Best of the '90s opening round results and second round matchups.
