A solid watch - a victim of the over-hype machine

Rating: 6/10 (15 January 2019)

A benevolent force attacks the Earth causing anyone who sees it to self destruct.
This is a very professionally shot film with great characters and amazing performances.
I am very happy that this amount of talent and money is spent on science fiction and the trend to do something a little more intelligent.
This is however, a simple lock-in movie.
The evil entity could just as easy be zombies, aliens or any other force that can neither be defeated or reasoned with.
This has great moments of tension and drama and lots of the characters are quite interesting and diverse.
The problem I had with this film is even though there is a lot going on it feels like nothing happens.
There is a feeling of inevitability in the characters actions.
For the story to roll out how it does a lot of the characters make a difficult situation impossible through their own stupidity.
Overall a good watch but nothing that is going to change your life.
Which is fine.
