This movie is just about watchable, but my main criticism is that you have Steven Greer talking most of the time without him providing any evidence. He tries to speak as if he is the sole authority on the subject and he expects the audience to just trust what he says. He quotes the suspicious death of Stanley Meyer who supposedly invented a car than ran on water. Stanley Meyer never provided evidence on how his invention worked. Apparently the car was stolen. The film is professionally done for a 4K TV. Except, funnily enough the UFO/UAV photos are always grainy. He claims to have spoke with lots of influential people to try and build up his credibility. He claims the technology of the world hasn't changed much in 100 years because these dark ops are keeping the information secret:- he forgets to mention all the technologies that have been discovered in the past 100 years e.g. Rocket engines, computers, Internet, semiconductors and AI. So less talking Greer and more evidence please.
I cannot believe I wasted my time watching this piece of rubbish. It starts with a female author who has a mind block writing her novel (totally unoriginal). Random ridiculous things happen as if the director is trying to make it interesting - but it failed as the whole thing is ridiculous. The mastermind character is really irritating. In fact the whole movie is irritating with no plot and it just drifts from one ridiculous scene to the next. All the characters are cardboard cut-outs. Don't waste your time watching this rubbish as you won't be any wiser for it. I am struggling to right any more about this B-Movie.
I thought this film had an interesting new plot for a sci-fi film. Set in the future in the US high up in the mountains there are only a few settlements left after a disaster. It had an earlier settler feel about it when people had to rely on their own resources to survive. The main actors Will (Anthony Mackie), Nina (Morena Baccarin), Katie (Maddie Hasson) and the young boy, Hunter (Danny Boyd Jr.) were all likeable characters. The film has an underlying suspense to it with the threat of unknown creatures waiting to kill anyone that goes below a certain altitude. The clock is ticking and Will, the father of Hunter who needs medical support has to take a risk and go below the altitude that is safe. The adventure unfolds as Will tries to find medications for his son. Overall I enjoyed the film from beginning to end.
