More like a drama that has some sprinkling of horror and action

Rating: 6/10 (21 October 2019)

There were things I really liked about this movie, like how it strived to be slightly different and beautiful in some ways. The visuals were well done, the music score set a tone of unease and wonder at the same time. The acting was fairly ok. The idea behind it was intriguing and makes me want to read the book it was based on. However....
There were some pretty big plot holes that were hard to forgive, I kept thinking, well if this was real the military would do things this way. There was a made for tv vibe when it came to the "horror" aspects and I think it's because there was so little of it and spread so far apart that it felt slow, hence why this feels more like a drama.
There are a lot of unexplained things in this movie that don't really resolve to a statisfying point and at one point I thought well I guess that is kind of the point of this movie. It's a bit of a philosophical noggin scratcher so if you are not in the mood to question the meaning of your own existence and how life as we know it is a construct of our own psyche then skip this one and watch Predator (a straight up shoot em up sci fi action. slightly horror movie).
All in all I was entertained by this movie but I can see why people don't like it. Worth a 6 for me but probably would never rewatch it.
