I have seldom felt so cheated out of a great movie than I do right now. This is a great premise and a great story, weighed down, frankly, by bad filmmaking. To list the flaws would be futile, they are so many and so frequent, both on a technical level, but also in the script, that by the time the reveal comes around, did anybody really care? This is painful to watch, not to say that the movie is painfully bad, it is painful because we know it could have been a fantastic science fiction film, maybe even a franchise. To be fair, Ben Young does end his fiasco with a blatant setup to a sequel, albeit one that is hardly ever going to happen. He might not be a great director, but his self esteem seems to be above and beyond.
