Granted, I was lured in by this 2015 movie's cover/poster, as it seemed like something that could possibly be watchable. Sure, I am not usually one overly keen on sci-fi movies, but do dabble with the genre once in awhile.
And movies like "Dominion" are definitely not helping to boost my admiration or love for the sci-fi genre. This movie was boring and horribly pointless. And what writers Erick Hansen and Richard Lowry were thinking when they concocted "Dominion" is just simply beyond me.
The storyline told in "Dominion", as directed by Richard Lowry, was just pointless. There was simply nothing interesting to be enjoyed here as the movie trotted on in a very, very monotonous pace. And with so little happening in the storyline it was a struggle to keep focus on the movie and stay awake.
It didn't really help much that the acting in the movie wasn't really convincing. It felt sluggish and amateurish, most of the times it seemed like the actors and actresses themselves didn't buy into the storyline and script that they had to bring to the screen. Nor were the mundane dialogue much of any help either.
For a sci-fi movie, "Dominion" was a swing and a miss. The special effects in the movie were something from a 1990s computer game, and it was most certainly not up to what you'd expect from a 2015 movie. And a sci-fi movie needs to have proper and convincing special effects, which was something "Dominion" lacked.
"Dominion" came without as much as a noise for me, hence I didn't even know of its existence before now late in 2020. And the movie will just as quietly fade into oblivion for me. This movie is not really worth your time, money or effort. My rating of "Dominion" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
