An excellent, gritty sci-fi Western

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2017)

This is a very, very good, gritty science-fiction road-trip chase movie. Think Terminator 2 or Children of Men, except the child is the opposite of defenseless or helpless.
Don't expect a superhero movie - it definitely is not. Super powers are nearly nonexistent. People expecting cheap laughs, explosions, CGI, and the typical "the good guys will win" movie (e.g. Avengers) may be disappointed. This is a character drama with occasional bouts of violence that demonstrate the brutal reality of being clawed.
This is a movie about aging, mortality, vulnerability, parenting and legacy.
It is not a perfect movie, but its a damn good one that has me still thinking about it now, long after the credits ended. Despite a simple plot, there were plot holes and the villains needed more backstory. However, despite the movie running for over two hours I still wanted more.
This movie demonstrates how famous comic book characters can be presented in standalone movies, without blatantly setting up a sequel.
Lastly, Dafne Keen was excellent. Hopefully her career amounts to more than Edward Furlong's.
