A thrilling journey, with a happy ending? (Watch and find out!)

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2018)

This movie does not take it's time to kick off! It gets straight into the action from the beginning, which I liked. I saw the trailer and was only half way through and just had to start watching before finishing the trailer, because it grasped my attention enough, to not want any spoilers. The performance from Sandra Bullock was what captures you to watch the movie, she expresses the emotion of fear to a high degree. I could really picture myself in the environment within the movie also. If this movie were ever to be a reality, it would be a world not worth living in, so for me, this movie scares me. This movie really gives you that, "edge of my seat experience" and *SPOILER* I don't know why, but the concept that the characters had to look at the "entity" or whatever it was, in the air.. that put them in a suicidal trance, was enough for me to hide behind my pillow at the moments that any light was close to their eyes within the movie. I really found the movie captured my attention, I actually had to pause the movie in the middle because I don't know why, but the thought of a world, where I was unable to see in fear of becoming possessed by something I couldn't explain, is apparently a new fear of mine. This is the only movie that has affected me for a while this way, I never get scared while watching movies and I have seen end of world movies such as World War Z for example.
I'm glad the movie does not have a visible entity in which you can visualise what it is that was controlling people to commit suicidal acts. This for me, allows the viewer to visualise and question, what is it that could be so terrifying to make someone go that insane? Some people may be disappointed by this. But I personally believe that if they were to put a face to whatever it was, then I believe that viewers would also be disappointed.
