Did not enjoy this movie at all. Was really waiting for it to end in the last 30 mins.
It's disappointing because it started off strong. Good atmosphere, good tension and great cinematography with some interesting questions being developed.
Also, some of the editing towards the end of the movie became really choppy and confusing. There were moments where I was genuinely confused as to what the hell was happening.
Overall, if I had seen this on Netflix randomly I probably would have been satisfied but considering it had such a good cast behind it, i'm sorely disappointed. It wasn't awful but it wasn't good.
2/5

Then it became a derivative monster movie and not a particular good one.
The characters were completely devoid of any interest. Jake's whole personality was based around liking space and it was predictable how they were going to reincorporate that. Jake's personality was a plot device and nothing else. All the characters made incredibly dumb decisions throughout and I just didn't care about anyone involved. Ryan Reynolds was the only character that had any likeability and that was only as the result of his natural charisma. His death was great and tense because I actually had some semblance of care for his character but once he was out I stopped caring.
