This was refreshingly original in it's own way. Suspenseful and really well shot and acted, score was awesome and the theme is definitely not what I expected, but thoroughly enjoyed.
People here saying it was too long, but I think it was too short! The last 20mins feels kind of rushed, whereas the steady build of pace and suspense for the first hour/90mins was right on the mark for me.
I would argue that this is miscategorized as horror. A sci-fi thriller for sure, but the small amount of horror in the film is more tame than what we see in something like "The Boys", and would you class that as horror?
I will say that I felt there was a solid mystery building that kind of fizzled out and went in a kind of lazy (or rather rushed) direction, the only real disappointing thing about the film.
Kaluuya was also sometimes hard to hear, not his fault but the pickup seemed too low and one section near the beginning I had to go back and listen again at higher volume to hear the line.
Overall I kind of love this concept and it gives a sort of "The Arrival" vibe.
8/10 will watch again.

There's not many movies that I don't sit all the way through, but this is a rare exception.
Even the concept itself is pretty laughable.
I love the first 2 films, but this is just sad and predictable.
I swear the score is stolen from Hans Zimmer too.
Good photography though I guess?
Jokes: meh Action: meh Acting: meh Script: lol
The only half decent scene was the simultaneous shots of Mike getting in the car and Marcus getting food and putting on the TV. That's a great takeaway from a BAD BOYS movie, huh?
I rate 3/10 because people worked hard on this steaming pile of sloppy manure.
