“Sigh. As a self-proclaimed sci-fi junkie, I was looking forward to this new original stand-alone sci-fi movie. And I left fully disappointed. Itu0026#39;s exactly like so many movies Iu0026#39;ve seen before. I basically knew how the entire movie would play out in the first five minutes.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven so, Iu0026#39;ve enjoyed plenty of movies that seem derivative. If itu0026#39;s done right, it can be good or even great without any originality. But everything about this movie feels off. I can see what itu0026#39;s trying to do. Itu0026#39;s just not working. Character arcs and changes in perspective feel completely unearned. Emotional moments evoke no emotions.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven with all that, could I at least enjoy some cool sci-fi action? Not really. It feels mostly tame and surface-level. Part of it is the annoying limitations with PG-13 movies, avoiding all violence even with death all over the place. But itu0026#39;s more that the action isnu0026#39;t creative or… intimate? Shooting scenes are just a bunch of bullets flying everywhere (with terrible aim). And throw in explosions every now and then.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePeople who donu0026#39;t watch many movies will probably enjoy it more than me. But I canu0026#39;t recommend this movie. It could not get me engaged or invested, which is not a difficult task for someone who loves movie as much as I do.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e(1 viewing, early access screening UltraScreen 9/27/2023)”
