more a curiosity than a drama

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2017)

A complex, and familiar, alien contact science fiction drama that loses much of its punch being crammed into a two hour format. The result is a confusing storyline that rushes to an even more confusing climax and hammy finale. The considerable talent of Amy Adams is wasted, as are those of her supporting cast. Including the aliens. In addition, the big screen production values do not translate well to the small screen. This would have been a much more entertaining and powerful project as a limited run series on one of the subscription services. All that considered, I cannot recommend paying the considerable price of admission at Amazon, or anywhere else really.
