It was good until... (spoilers)


I thought it was decent and I was pretty into it until they stepped outside and discovered the town. The second act was extremely weak. They should have stuck to keeping the movie in the 'ship' and keep the psychological mystery going. The second act was like a pilot to a bad tv series. It made no sense. Or the movie should have ended when they went outside and discovered the planet as they knew it was gone. Went from a 6 to a 4.

I was writing the exact same thing to another person in this board, really... I'm glad you too feel the same way about it.

I was watching a good movie that sudently became a B-movie poorly adapted from another B-movie, it was not only a shock, it was disgusting to watch, it's like they trashed their own movie and idea just because they wanted to do it and the ending was miserable, it's like throwing a grenade to the audience and laughing while they protest about it.

Simply horrible.

Yeah exactly, it felt like two different movies glued together; a decent one, then a really cheap one.

You're being more generous than I would....

In Act 1, I felt like I was watching a bad movie... but at least a professional attempt at a movie.

In Act 2, it devolved into a disaster. I felt like I was watching someone's homemade movie... not even indie level.
