Genuinely the biggest let down from a trailer. It was very slow to start, this film could have easily been reduced from 2 hours to 45 min. The films itself had the most pointless story, and you could easily get distracted by something, come back to watching it and you would have missed nothing. This is not worthy of a tv film never mind the big screen.

Lukewarm I am afraid. The acting, the directorship (technically speaking) and the plot are all good, and it is a high production value film - that remains understated. On paper I should love it, but it is just not good enough. I didn't enjoy it.

The plot was thin and the only thing that kept me going was the belief it must get better which it didn't. My advice would be to watch Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind instead even if you've seen it before.
