Great movie....... NOPE 👎🏻 (I clicked spoilers but really there isn't!! My spoiler is in the description anyway)
Ok so I'm not normally one to review movies so bear with me (but this I couldn't let slide)
At first I assumed just a slow start to the movie!! Setting the scene developing characters etc
How wrong was I...... extremely poor character development Zero suspense! I feel saying this
Doesn't spoil anything by letting you know the father in the movie dies (it's literally in the movie description) however his kids seem to barely acknowledge the fact and move on and never mention him again!! He didn't need to be part of the movie at all he litterally doesn't speak no bell bent alien vengeance or any type of visual mourning by the kids it's just odd to be fair
I whole heartedly would have loved to have got behind the film, the weird and wonderful alien, time travel,
sci fi genre is my thing
Admittedly I'm ordinarily not a big fan of Daniel Kaluuya but he seems to have landed himself some interesting rolls in the past! However his character in this movie lacked substance, to be fair to him it was a poorly written part but aside from that, there was little effort on his part!! If he had just injected just an ounce of energy into his character it may have made the plotless encounter a little more bearable
There was a minuscule moment when I thought ok that slow start has lifted and we can get into the fun stuff now... wrong again!! All in all the movie had a very vague plot and ended in the biggest anticlimax since we'll I can't actually think of a bigger one so let's just leave it there
Definitely not for me, was a waste of money and time
Hopefully my dire disappointment still doesn't dissuade you to watch for yourself, and make your own mind up!!
But be warned it's not what you think it is 😝
I checked the rating before I watched (as I always do) and would probably rate this more a 3/4 but I'm legit going with 1 because I can't believe it's rated so high already (and we need to bring that number down)
Sorry not sorry.
