Boredom

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2019)

I was so bored watching this, I wanted to die. If your sci-fi film about aliens coming to Earth is producing that effect, you have failed miserably. I hated the protagonists, I was bored by the aliens, and the entire plot is just unbelievably dull and pointless. Nothing happens, ever. Now, a few things do happen, but it takes the script ages to tell them, and there is absolutely no emotional payoff to any of it. It's a self-indulgent moody video that seems to last forever, and poses as a film. Just pure drivel. But the worst thing is that in the third act, the film somehow takes a turn for the worse. Even worse than what came before. I find it hard to believe anyone in the audience didn't ask himself: 'Why am I watching this crap?'
Zero for screenwriting. And zero for the feminist 'strong and independent' lead character. Female lead characters in this type of movie are so frustrating to watch.
