6/10
Glad I ignored the bad reviews...
19 August 2023
I mean no, its not award worthy, but I found it entertaining enough. Granted I went into it not expecting anything good. I actually expected to end up turning it off after a bit. I only gave it a shot because of 2 things.... Peter Mensah, and a weird scifi tastic sounding storyline.... While I was disappointed that Mensah didn't have more screen time I still found myself watching the whole thing and enjoying it. The music fit, and wasn't distracting and yes a lot happens in the dark... That's what TV settings are for people! Those are usually not set to optimal levels out of the box and almost always have to be adjusted. I had no problems seeing anything that happened. All in all it is definitely better than the low 4.5 rating. Is it a 10? Nope, although I was tempted to rate it as such to try and offset so many unjustly bad reviews... But I didn't. I did go ahead and give it a 6 although i really think its about a solid 5. For me ratings of 4 or less should be reserved for things with cringe worthy acting and/or cartoonish effects. They could have done more with the script, true. But all in all it was an entertaining watch that didn't run slow, it kind of hit the ground running and kept moving the whole time which works for me. It takes a special movie that can keep me engaged at a slow burn speed.
