This films style is all over the map. They spend the first 20-30 minutes selling you it as one kind of film and then it slowly just morphs into ridiculousness. By the end things are so absurd that you don't care anymore as you know that nothing is going to make sense and that the filmmakers, if the plot is in a corner, will just completely ignore any established film logic and move forward.
Now many if not most films do this to some extent. Especially actions films like the MI or Fast and Furious films. But, for the most part, they retain logic in that they establish the logic of the film universe and stick with it, but this film doesn't. Our hero manifests guns out of nowhere, he's somehow isn't seen by others as he moves around in front of them. People with guns pointed directly at him don't shoot. When they do shoot nothing more than a flesh wound occurs regardless of how many bullets are shot at him. His bones, apparently, can't be broken.
I would say maybe young kids would buy this, but it's over the top violence would keep me from suggesting any kids watch this.
Finally, its morality is all over the map too. Who the hero(s) lets live and who they slaughter wholesale is random with some of the worse characters allowed to live and some innocent (at least during the time of the film) are just slaughtered. So you really can't even root for the hero(s).
Had this film stayed consistence with literally anything, it would have been an improvement. The movie seems like the filmmakers were making it up while shooting it as I can't believe anyone would read this script and say, 'yes, let's make this. Here's some money'.
Don't bother.

This was a fun and interesting horror/sci-fi film. At least at the start. They keep several things from you and it is fun to discover them as they are revealed. But by the end it saddle with dumb cliches and doesn't follow the rules created earlier and it just disappoints at the ending, especially the ridiculous climax. When you watch it you'll also say, 'Really? Come on now.'
