If the title doesn’t draw you in, then Netflix’s thumbnail will. The description doesn’t do it justice. At least, it doesn’t do the concept justice; not even the film managed to do that. 

For the most part, the film isn’t bad. The only issue with it is that it’s not well-paced at all.  The film begins on a high note, introducing us to the stakes of the film. It’s pleasantly paced, but this doesn’t last very long. It doesn’t seem like the editing team knew what they were trying to do most of the time because the film can’t seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be a quick action-flick or a satisfying slow-burn story. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if it weren’t for the fact it makes it unnecessarily hard to maintain focus when watching the film and detracts from its most important scenes, including the big reveal. 

When you ignore the execution, the film’s concept is exciting and promising. With that said, it is also a bit of a headache, but in a good way. It’s one of those films you have to think about while watching, and a background understanding of the topics tackled is helpful.

In the end, I’m not sure if I can say I recommend this film or not. Maybe if you have nothing else to watch? Or if you’re a hardcore sci-fi fan? Whether you decide to watch it or not, I think it’s over agreeable that this is a one-time watch deal.
