u/Dscoot9

Since I switched to Fitbit's new interface, I noticed all my sleep scores went way down. For a really good night , where I hit all my goals, I got an 88. When I switched to the old mode, the score for the same night was 92. Today, I noticed I could see the old score in my watch. Last night, I got a 76 in the new interface (all-time low!) and an 84 on the old one. Should I just trust it's more accurate now? Cause new scores do not match how rested and fresh I feel. I'm feeling a little frustrated.

Anyone else?

I feel like I might be reading this movie very differently from most people, and I’m curious if anyone else saw it this way.

A lot of the criticism I’m seeing is that the plot feels empty or just a standard survival thriller. But watching it, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the whole film is actually a metaphor for grief and depression.

A few things that stood out to me:

\- The title itself, “Apex.” It literally means the peak, and I read that as her hitting the peak of her depression or grief after her partner’s death. The film then becomes about what happens at that breaking point.

\- Early on, when she enters the park and someone says “people get lost here all the time,” it didn’t just feel like literal foreshadowing. It sounded like a direct parallel to how people get lost in grief or depression.

\- The entire setting (the wilderness) felt less like a place and more like a psychological space. Isolated, disorienting, hard to navigate, and easy to lose yourself in.

\- Ben, the villain, is so exaggerated, dark, and animalistic (even down to moments like showing his teeth) that he comes across more like a force than a person. I read him as the embodiment of the darkest side of grief/depression. Something relentless, predatory, and inhuman that just wears you down.

\- The way he keeps coming back, no matter what, felt very similar to how those internal states don’t just “go away” but keep resurfacing.

\- The whole survival aspect then becomes less about physical survival and more about whether she can make it through that internal state without completely losing herself.

\- And the ending (with her letting go of something tied to her partner) felt like a release, like she’s finally processing and moving through the grief rather than being consumed by it.

So for me, the movie wasn’t empty at all. It felt like a pretty heavy metaphor that just isn’t very explicit, which might be why a lot of people are taking it at face value.

Curious if anyone else saw it this way, or if I’m just projecting meaning onto something that isn’t really there.
