It is what it is...

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2018)

A different look at sci-fi. A film that takes you on a journey. It isnt perfect, but I believe its a much needed different view/idea on the genre.
Firstly, lets look at some of the negative reviews...especially one which goes to list some of their grievances...
Firearms - training can be given in firearms. You dont have to be in the military to hold an automatic weapon (especially as that person then went on to complain they werent then supplied with sidearms.
Using glives for samples - correct, aseptic techniques are key to getting 'clean' samples...however, under the circumstances, getting a sample at all would be a feat.
Getting in a boat after the croc scene - it wasnt on steroids. As the film suggested, its DNA had changed/merged. The science behind it was a little vague, agreed, but still, it IS a sci-fi film.
On the positive side, Deciding on going in to a cinema and watching the likes of Pacific Rim, Jurassic Park or any other sci-fi film should be viewed on its merit. It is what it is. If you want a film that makes complete sense scientifically, then probably best to not watch any sci-fi film full stop.
This film has some very good acting along with an interesting cast. The soundtrack is very, very good and adds a lot of depth to the viewing.
The visuals are also very very good with some very nice touches with the cinematography (looking through the glass of water and her wedding ring very clear, when she was thinking of her husband was a good example of this).
Not only a sci-fi film, but also highlighted moral and personal issues very well.
