Not your typical scifi movie.

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2017)

A DIFFERENT kind of scifi/thriller, with a different kind of title (still haven't figured out that one, though). I can see why this film engendered so many negative reviews, but I can also understand why. This picture IS NOT your typical movie, in that it attempts to portray real time events with absolute realism, instead of following the time-honored script of a definitive beginning, middle, and end, with a well-defined purpose of meaning. It is also totally shot 100% HAND HELD, so it has the frantic, authentic feel of an actual homemade video movie, which certainly fulfilled that aspect. And the special effects are totally world class, on a par with the best CGI big budget films ever made. The utter realism of this picture is worthy of note. With many creature movies of this ilk, the acting often suffers, but these actors, mostly unknown, all delivered star quality performances all around, with no deviation from realism or drama. If you're expecting the same kind of Hollywood monster movie as say, "Godzilla,' this might not be your cup of tea. Instead, it is a riveting, superbly-crafted action film, fully deserving of a second look.
