The story takes forever to get going, the alien's backstory is unimaginative and lame and I swear, it looked like Pratt was about to burst out laughing before every line.
There's a good reason why schlock like this is direct to video/streaming. It would have been absolutely embarrassed at the box office.
I never intended to watch it. Just didn't jump out to me as something I'd be interested in. But then.....

No shit, has anyone seen his movies before? He's not a great actor or he would have done meatier roles by now. He fits perfectly into non-serious popcorn movies.
Pre-covid, I would have never went to a movie theater to see this. Waited to see it on streaming. I'm at home on a Friday night with a big holiday weekend planned, this fit the bill. [Reply]
I liked the movie. It was a decent attempt at a unique idea with the time travel. The aliens were typical mindless monsters but they sort of had a throw away scene at the end to make it not as corny with us expecting these things to be mindless monsters also capable of space travel. [Reply]

It was a combination of The Thing, Alien/Aliens, Edge of Tomorrow and every schlocky family drama. There was absolutely nothing original about the story and everything was completely and utterly predictable.
The score was an abomination. It’s wasn’t creepy when it needed to be creepy and it was pure crap during the action sequences. The opening and ending themes were completely forgettable.
Again, this would have absolutely bombed had it been released in theaters.
It’s cool that some you guys liked it but it wasn’t some kind of genre smashing, epic Sci-Fi adventure, it was slightly above the SyFy Channel. [Reply]

Those movies are awesome.
This one wasn't great but it entertained me.
I liked it as well. In the world of movies you just have to turn your brain off, and watch it as it’s offered to you. Doesn’t always have to make total sense, or end in a way you would hope. [Reply]
