hokey

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2019)

This is one of the 'spiritual' school of sci-fi (people who think they're too smart to believe in God, believe in aliens instead). Like 2001: Space Odyssey without the exciting bits, this is a slow film with a silly premise, leading up to a hokey and unbelievable - in fact, impossible - twist. It looks washed-out, too. The only good things are the effects and the performances, particularly the ever-reliable Amy Adams.
