(A very poor) jack-of-all-trades, master of none

Rating: 1/10 (6 April 2017)

I have to admit, perhaps the movie is worth two stars, however seeing the average rating of 8 (at this time), I cannot help myself but to rate it even lower.
Alright, to begin with... First off I am truly torn on whether this movie is even sci-fi in the first place. And I'll touch on that in a second. However, every sci-fi element in the movie is very, very poorly arranged and executed, and provide illogical, inadequate, or plain stupid answers.
Now, the movie has sci-fi elements for sure, it's a given that the movie _HAS ALIENS_, be that as it may - in the form of squids. But this movie is very similar to Interstellar, in the sense that it uses this sci-fi theme as a backdrop for some "larger-than-life", humanistic, pseudo-inspiring idea. The movie tries very hard to depict a multitude of different "awe-inspiring" ideas, such as globalism and humanism, coupled with a plot that has more holes than swiss cheese. The end result is that the movie fails in everything it tries to do, in varying degrees.
Now I said the movie is probably worth two stars, the additional star I'd be willing to give for the audio, which was apart from the protagonist's annoying panting (almost as bad as 2001), the only thing going for this movie.
