I think Netflix is on to something, and their content is typically great. They are spending 18 Billion in 2018 to make movies and new content.
So what did y'all think of the movie/concept?
I watched it. Feels like if they are going to do something like this they need to do a lot more world building. They really didn't expand too much on it. I think a better analogy would be Alien Nation meets LoTR.
I did not hate it but would definitely need to see some world building to keep me interested. Almost thought it would be better as a series rather than some movies. [Reply]

Agreed,
I think they will expand in 2nd movie (think they are hoping for trilogy) [Reply]

Will is such a specific character that it’s hard to not archetype him. [Reply]

I enjoyed it. Not a great movie, but mostly a fun watch. Probably would have been better with a different lead actor. [Reply]

Netflix did release something like this, but it's a stand alone video to watch.
