A good idea that was never fully formed

Rating: 2/10 (28 March 2020)

This movie had such great potential - but it was never close to realised. Leaving the viewer with so many frustrating questions distracts from the plot. Questions such as "What are these creatures?", "how did these people manage to survive for 5 years?" Then there are the just plain annoying premises such as having us believe that someone could drive around the streets using proximity sensors and GPS, or navigate a river in a rowboat, blindfolded. Most people can't row a boat in a straight line even when they can see. Then there's the whole running through the woods debacle, mostly managing to stay on the path and avoid the thousands of trees. I know that part of the movie experience is the suspension of belief, but that suspension does require some feasible support - and this movie gave me none.
