I really hate this movie, but. The idea of aliens so strange that they dwarf human comprehension has been a recurring notion in science fiction. It's been there, again and again - but never quite so stupidly.
That's not a slur on anyone acting in this film, including Bullock. They did their jobs amazingly. But the plot of having some kind of alien that just "seeing" it (or seeing the passing effects of it) drives a sapien to suicide is utterly bizarre and bereft of plot. Humans don't all view things in one idea. Even if you can pull a difference between the "criminally insane" and those who are nominally sane, that's too stark a difference to make a "friendly/unfriendly" idea over.
This movie is bizarre and makes no real sense. As a Bullock drama vehicle, it's fine. Considered on the merits of its plot, it is a real mess. Netflix fires a miss.
