Tries hard at everything, but succeeds at nothing.

Rating: 3/10 (21 April 2018)

This movie was a combination of every alien/scifi movie made in last ten years..
It tries for sci-fi, but does not reach it.
Tries for emotional engagement, but you don't know enough about the characters to care and Natalie Portman's acting was just a half notch above Kristen Stewart.
Tries for action/adventure, fails at that.
Wanted to be a mystery, but by that time you did not care for the answer.
Pros
Slightly original story, or at least a copied story told differently.
Cons
No logic, most decisions are not indicative of 'intelligent' scientists.
Not sure what happened at the end.
Boring and slow, even the 'action' scenes seemed drawn-out and did not create excitement or tension.
Large portion of movie is consumed with long dramatic stares or calling out each other's names.
So yes, I wanted to like this movie, trailers made it seem interesting. I did feel like I lost two hours for nothing.
