Too many fans seem to be blown away

Load of rubbish!!

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

My summary is the entire plot of this movie. The rest of the movie is a bunch of cry-baby dialog, unnatural actions (I blame the director) and more cry-baby dialog. There were a few seconds of some alien drones, but they were not impressive in the least. If you are a fledgling amateur movie producer, this movie could be an inspiration in that anyone (including you) could make a better movie than this 1.

This movie just doesn't go anywhere. I'd would bet good money that there wasn't a script; that the entire movie was improvised on location. This isn't a true Sci-fi film, it's more like one of those sappy relationship "it's me, not you" love story movies. You really can't blame the cast for lousy acting, they can only do so much with a poorly written script and possibly poor direction.***Possible spoiler alert***The characters at the very beginning of the movie have no other scenes in the rest of the movie, which leads me to believe this scene was tacked on AFTER the movie was completed when someone realized this movie needed something to get it jump started - it just crawls along slowly after this brief introductory scene.

I rarely write a review. I enjoy science fiction movies even most bad ones have some measure of enjoyment to be found. This movie however has no redeeming features. It had great potential with the premise. It had potential for setting. But it did none of those things.It had some pretty good special effects. OK, I guess I just validated my one star. Unbelievable characters, behaving irrationally, with poor camera work, little to no continuity, told with an uninspired and trite script, by a director who had a fetish for a close up of the hero (?). Yeah, this IS a bad film.

Initially we were looking for a mindless film to zone out on. When we realized it was using multiple timelines, we were prepared to be irritated, but it was still easy to follow, because the jumps correspond to memories and realizations or show simultaneous events that then blend through the use of cell phones. Coincidentally, we saw it the night before the Las Vegas shootings, and it served as a kind of prep for the issue of the relative horrors of dieing alone or dieing with everyone else, flight to safety, risking youself to help someone else. This is an almost boringly naturalistic film that is very focused on the nature of marital relationships and the fear of death, which seems to have disappointed a lot of people. It breaks a number of conventional rules of the genre with realism. If you want to watch a film that makes you think you could easily survive an alien invasion and it would be fun, watch something else.
