Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure I saw the same film as y'all. The premise and development of the plot was fairly understandable but you can't watch this movie while also playing on a phone or tablet as some of the cues are quick or subtle.

The FX are top-notch, especially the inverted humans. I can't see how that was done with CGI so maybe it was just painstaking physical effects.

**** SPOILER **** An experimental physicist is working on some sort of interdimensional portal. There is discussion of the work at CERN and how it was already opened a portal to somewhere else, a common internet conspiracy theory.

His work has succeeded tragically as in his attempt to bring back a lost daughter, he opens a portal that he cannot close. Not good news for anyone in the film and presumably a bad day for planet Earth.

Some of the acting was a bit wooden but it didn't ruin anything for me and there were undercurrents of tension and such that could explain a lack of rapport between some of the characters which could result in this behavior.

Again, an exciting premise, not executed terribly but also not A-grade. The FX were far better than I had expected and better than many A-list movies that Hollyweird has delivered in the past few years.
