Noah H @Noah85 3 hrs ago Well, this was a waste of time. It felt like a complete Contact knock off. The characters were so lame, and they swore way too much for a PG 13 movie. I’m sorry, but I just didn’t enjoy this. Watch Contact instead. It’s a whole lot better than this pile of garbage. The only reason I’m giving this 3/10 is because the morph cloaking effect at the end was actually pretty cool. See more Donny W @DonnyBlanco Sep 19, 2026 If you enjoy sci fi, this is a must watch. Lesser than Contact or Arrival, but a good moral dilemma. See more Aye E @RT43717499 Sep 8, 2026 "Inert and without humanity" But as the Gute says "no risk, no reward!". (jkjk) Jokes aside it wasn't bad, and was an interesting concept but felt underdeveloped and rushed. Could've been a cool limited series if the characters back stories were more developed and the science was a bit more fleshed out, and paced out. It already had the production quality of an TV show. The government and military reaction didn't feel believable, kind of had a removed, non-mencacing obstacle, like in old Twilight Zone episodes and 50s Sci-fi. Yeah, they can show up with the military and interrogate them, but why didn't they put the billionaire in custody in the first place? Why was it taking so long to get other scientists there? And in all of that interrogation the lead still has time to put her mascara on. See more L J @Cracky Sep 7, 2026 Excellent movie! Very thought provoking! See more Captain C @RT29629362 Sep 6, 2026 I think this movie was trying to be too cerebral without having anything profound to say. It was kind of like Contact but without ANY human element. Imagine you had an idea for a neat alien concept - but then forgot that you need to tell a story and just stretched your idea into ‘how would they figure out what this neat alien thing is?’ And wrote a script that is pretty much that - and only that. Felt like this could have been an interesting episode of X files. Or a vignette on some anthology - so like, 30 minutes max. I wonder if people pitch an idea and then expect a $100M budget and are given $1500 instead and told to make the best of it. That’s this movie. I watched it because I like Josh H and Dennis Q. But even they couldn’t make this interesting. Best part? David Thewlis - great misanthropic, British genius. Put this performance in a Bond movie or something and it’s brilliant. See more Joe B @RT45187721 Sep 5, 2026 "they're not ready" - Yes none of these people were ready to make a sci-fi movie. Terrible sci fi writers will often use a voiceover / narration explaining everything for exposition. (at the beginning) This genius takes it one step further by also adding a voiceover AT THE END TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING. Because no, we didn't get the premise so simple a toddler could understand, please just lay the whole plot of the movie out for us with a narration at the end. Thanks so much. Please, Jonathon Sobel or any other director who reads this...if you don't like sci-fi, or are not or never were a fan of sci-fi. DO NOT MAKE SCI FI!!!! If you've never read a full sci-fi novel just for fun, DO NOT MAKE SCI FI!! Or if you you ever find yourself saying 'hmm sci fi sounds fun, I could use my hollywood clout to try it out" .... DO NOT MAKE SCI FI!! There are so many other genre's you can go mess up for profit, just stop. See more Read all reviews
