Krystyna W @RT59398809 14h I liked it. The most disappointing thing was clearly the lack of budget. The story had a great premise. I wished it could have been better produced. Photo editing was poor, but maintained the necessary atmosphere. Finally a planet not clear as day. Scifi needs more of that. The 'rocks' discovery was a great lead-in to that final 'money' shot one survivor shows. The kid, his fear, his details, all that could have been built up much more. Ideal movie if you appreciate not seeing the monster first thing or clearly. The actresses played their characters off each other, which worked well. The starting male actor's presence wasn't revealing enough. The end was a bit confusing, as in it was more of a rush to wrap up instead of coming clean. Spoiler - I blinked and missed the first sinkhole scene and couldn't tell if she was lying. This is not a Netflix-n-chill movie. This is lazy Sunday tv-while-chores movie, but requires and holds attention. See more John S. @spudweb Dec 30 I'd rather stick a hot poker in my eye than watch this film. I actually joined rotten tomatoes to warn people about it. It jumps all over. Dialog doesn't make sense. For the first 10 minutes, I thought the women in the movie were the same person. Then I noticed it's an all women cast. Also hard to understand even though it's English. Yuck. Boring, and slow. It never picks up pace. Don't waste your time.

It doesn't contain a lot of action or special effects, but that didn't bother me at all. The storyline doesn't need it. I really liked the story and the ending. :) See more Alice K @RT81082724 12/07/2024 If you get to the end, the premises of the film is interesting. Shame about the rest. It needed an actual story, character development, dialogue and more than one location. It would have been better as a 30 min short. ---Spoiler : None of this comes out directly in the film. My interpretation is that there are two factions which hate each other, one is shoting down transport ships, containing mostly of citizens of the other faction, to their doom on the moon so the survivors of the ship can be used like a grain of sand in an oyster to create valuable gem stones via digestion in the alien inhabitants. This is facilitated by gemstone framers that work there and wrap the survivors in light which attracts the aliens to eat them. If you happen to be on the ship and a citizen of the faction who shoot it down due to bad luck you might get rescued if you can provide your citizen id. -- Shame this not explained through the characters. You have to work out yourself. Way too many unneeded scenes mostly because they did not work on story, characterization, motivation, etc... l guess worth worth watching if only for forensic reasons. See more Bert R @RT91481299 12/01/2024 Monotonous, dragging. It was started with promise but very quickly got old. I could not finish watching it past the 3/4 mark. A big nope.
