Not as meaningful as it tries to be

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2018)

This is a slow paced film told with flash backs. There are plot holes (why only small teams? Why is this team all females?) But that doesn't really detract from the film. Its visually quite impressive but overall incoherent. It borrows from various sci fi films - invasion of the body snatchers; 2001, Aliens - to a lesser or greater degree, but fails to touch any of them in terms of quality. It seems to be trying to convey some sort of idea about identity and who we are - but fails to come up with anything particularly significant and ends up just being interesting for its sci fi visuals, with no substance to back it up.
