Fun movie, takes itself a little too seriously.

Rating: 7/10 (1 July 2018)

A fun movie for sure, but sometimes seems to take itself too seriously. The plot develops well, and if you like the typical sci-fi movie plot you'll probably like this. I can see where others have issues with this movie though, and if you're not a fan of sci-fi, you might find this a little too weird. I personally love the genre, but I was always expecting more to happen with every plot point. The ending is also your usual sci-fi movie twist ending, and is pretty fun. I'd suggest this movie to friends who like sci-fi and want a fun movie to watch without getting into anything too serious. I thought the acting was above what I expected, and the special effects, as far as I can tell, were pretty good. They never detracted from the movie. For me, movies start at a 5 star rating and go up or down from there. I give it a 7, because while I found it interesting and very entertaining at times, there are large sections of the movie where I'm waiting for something to happen in the scene, but it's another couple minutes of a few of the characters staring at each other. For me, at least, this really messed up the pacing of the movie. The plot points that were developed, however, were interesting and kept me hooked in the movie. Really, what I wanted was a more fleshed out universe, because we're shown a lot of interesting things that are never explained. The cinematography wasn't anything that excited me, but wasn't ever anywhere near what I'd consider bad. I may watch it again at another point and see if I feel the same way about the pacing of the movie. Overall, worth watching if you like sci-fi, otherwise, probably avoid it.
