A complete mess

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2018)

This film doesn't know what it wants to say or how it wants to say it. It's like three films somebody spliced together in an awkward way. One is about a mysterious code that tells you where accidents will happen; the other is about finding God, accepting fate and the losses it might bring; the third is about mysterious aliens that stalk a family as Armageddon approaches. You literally could have made three films out of the basic premise of the story. But shoving all these ideas into a single film results in a confusing plot, a tone that wavers, and a dissatisfying experience for the audience. By trying to connect all the dots, which are too numerous, the film loses coherence and falls flat on its ass. But frankly, even with a trimmed down storyline, I doubt that the writers would have fared better. I was unimpressed by the writing. One star, for wasting my time and providing no payoff for my emotional and intellectual investment.
