Mixed, half-baked, and ultimately disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (13 October 2018)

I expected so much more. It seemed like an ambitious attempt at science fiction. But it was ultimately more of a psychological thriller. We got to feast our eyes on middle-aged but still-adorable Amy Adams. There were CGI spaceships that looked too much like cucumbers or sexual devices. And aliens that looked like squids. And there were Back To The Future plot twists. Throw in a creepy soundtrack of rattling metal sheets and growling. And too-dark lighting. And of course some jump scares. If you're a teenage girl who loves vampire movies, maybe this is for you. If you're looking for great science fiction, this unfortunately ain't it.
