Half way decent

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2018)

Not at all what I expected based on previews. I actually would have skipped it if I had read these reviews beforehand. That being said, I don't like to prejudge. While watching I thought her daughter had died at the beginning and then the aliens arrived. We tend to interpret movies and stories in a linear fashion. I thought she was seeing her daughter in flashbacks. In one where she told her daughter 'for science ask your father,' I had an inkling that she was referring to Renner's character. It felt like the filmmaker was messing with time, just like when writer's in stories utilize flashbacks and flashforwards in fiction. I dislike when writers mess with their readers. For this reason, I could not believe and trust what the filmmaker was trying to push on me. It is not believable that she would be able to see the future.
