The Complex

When Great Britain and North Ireland decide to go the Science Fiction route, it always is risky. This one fits the mold: too much useless dialogue, slightly acidic remarks in the British line of sarcastic tone and very little action. Adding to it, the British accent ensuring a larger international audience will have difficulty to follow the dialogues, makes it even less palatable. There are definitely British jewels to watch, more dramatic or more comedy, but when it comes to SF ... a movie is not to be shot as a series. Call it one or the other: brilliant SF series (Thee Mandolarian, The Expanse) exist. Brilliant SF movies exist (do I have to give examples?). In summary, disappointing and not recommended in the ocean of below average SF movies.
