Temper your expectations

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2018)

Like most movies, what you ultimately think about it will be based largely on your expectations. If you are going to see this movie expecting some mind-bending sci-fi masterpiece, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.
This movie is not horrible, but past the caliber of the cast, a fairly ordinary sci-fi flick. Think, invasion of the body snatchers, if it mutated with Aliens, but not really as good as either one of those.
The cast did an admiral job for what they were given to do. Of the group though, I'd say the lead actor (Portman), gave the most "going through the motions" performance, but I was at least happy to see that they found an actor (Oscar Isaac) whose height best match that of her.
I think I expected more thrills or surprises from this movie, but none of that happened. Oh well, my popcorn was at least good!
