Sci fi chick flick

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2017)

What was an interesting premise turned into a weakly executed plot.
This film has a solid cast. There aren't any really poor performances... just...bland. If this scenario were to ever unfold in the real world, I seriously doubt that the military's response would be so calm, controlled and slow.
The concept is great. The problem is that it was laid out in a slow, vague and tedious manner. The flashbacks were annoying. The idea of taking what would be mankind's greatest adventure and turning it into a slow moving drama with a weepy female lead is very disappointing. She failed to demonstrate the obvious courage needed in this kind if scenario.
In short, I'm glad I didn't blow $30 at the theater. But, even then, I'm not happy that I wasted $4.00 on pay per view.
