Two thirds of this was an OK mystery thriller - low budget - but suddenly it lurched into a different genre, which I will call "Pseudo religious mashup weird (But in a bad way)" I wasn't going to post this, as I prefer to share good experiences, but eventually decided a warning was appropriate! A grudging 2 - mostly for the Imagine Dragons outro music! :)

When I watched this movie it was rated 6. Anyone who watches this apology for a movie will know what it is, amateurish in every aspect of movie making. There is no element that deserves praise. The story - such as it is - is a pastiche of other sci-fi movies. The script - did they really have one? - would get a failing grade in junior school. The directing seems to be mostly absent. Camerawork - I've never seen a movie containing so many blocked shots, out of focus shots and vertical pans that should have been removed in editing. Editing - there should have been some! Shots last for far too long. Acting - would have been nice, but... OMG, just when you think it can't get any worse... it ...does! I don't want to issue any "Spoilers" so I will keep my comments vague. But so far we have bad acting, 80's shooting sfx, half heard dialogue - with little or no purpose, a lot of space gun pointing, Terrible camera work. Bad sound design. Virtually no directing.oh, and poor spelling too! Oh, and space people wearing motorcycle clothing. Argh I can't go on. yet there are ratings that praise this drek!

I really can not understand the hate for this movie. So many 1 star "Reviews." Having been a IMDB user since the early days, I am used to seeing all sorts of strange reviews, but never have I seen such misplaced hatred for a reasonably good movie. Understand me, this is not a "Great" movie, however, it is competent in every way, and there are many many worse movies! This is more a psychological movie than an action movie. It could almost be a live theatre piece. For what it is worth, I enjoyed it, possibly the worst thing was Mat Smith's "American" accent, but it's not worth the hate.
