“I want to give this movie a better rating, but 2 of the actorsu0026#39; u0026quot;actingu0026quot; performances ruined it for me. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePOD is a decent sci-fi / horror movie. Itu0026#39;s entertaining. Hardcore sci-fi fans will enjoy it. And to be honest, the movie had potential to be a better-than-disappointing 1-time watch.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, Lauren Ashley Carteru0026#39;s (Lyla) ridiculously melodramatic performance left me… severely annoyed. Her dramatics were just exceptionally u0026amp; unnecessarily overplayed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBrian Morvant (Martin) was the same, but it camouflaged well with his role.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, this movie is for sci-fi fanatics, and is an entertaining single-time viewing. Best part in the entire movie (donu0026#39;t worry… NOT a spoiler alert): 1hr 2mins 50secs in. I think that single scene brought this movie from a 3, up to a 4 out of 10 for me.”
