Good cast, bad pacing, tone and script

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2019)

Tries to be interesting and cerebral and looks good in parts but it doesn't hang together.
Bad flash forward structure; superfluous affair subplot; dodgey dialogue - and I found the way the forest was depicted really poor. I liked the constant rainbow effect of the shimmer once inside the forest but the way the forest had little flowers and coloured mould oddly and rather frugally peppered throughout just made it look like cheap special effects. Parts of the forest set actually reminded me of the 1970's version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factor or a set from early Star Trek or Lost in Space. I actually found myself wanting more CGI! Speaking of which I liked the bear which took on the screams of its victim but the alien looked very similar to those in the film AI.
Anyway - worth a watch but could have been better...
