The film would deffo be interesting to some Sci-fi buffs, However it is one of them films where there is wayyyyy too much crying from people on it? Almost every time you see the group there are one or more people crying or screaming rather than being quiet and trying to figure out how to get away from where they are? I mean I would say that around 85% of the time you see the group someone is crying and it gets a bit boring after a while...
Ths CGI is a comfortable 8/10, the plot is a 6/10 a kinda "Seen it all before" type of story, The acting is really good thou! the only weakness I found was with Boller's realism (Jose Rosete) as he seemed to be giving out an aggressive attitude that didn't fit the character,
The two IT guys acted great and realistic who took most of the pressure in the film as they where the main two people if you ask me.
Overall I did skip a lot of parts of the 2:11 minute film more so where the camera was on the group of people and yet again someone was crying...
I think if they reduced the volume of crying it would cut the film down to about an hour an half, Honestly there really is more crying on this than any other film I have seen and it really ruined it for me.
I would NOT give the film a low score because a good deal of effort was clearly put into it but thats not without weaknesses and plot holes, So a generous 6/10 for me! it lost 3 points due to the "Crying Tsunami" and lost another point for the plot which could of been slightly changed and made a lot of difference.
It is worth the watch IF you can handle the crying...

I loved this film because I can really relate to it on a personal level.
My wife is from South America and I have been a lifelong sufferer of what is known as CPTSD, I have suffered traumas as a child but also in the last 15 years had 14 people died including 3 best friends, aunties, uncles and my father. Sometimes you have to ask how people live through these traumas.
So for me this film and the main actor who's name in the film is Sean who is also suffering from PTSD due to losing someone he loved I can feel his pain and he was crying out for someone to be just company to him who he could talk to,
The film was in my opinion no masterpiece BUT it wasn't far off, I think the negative reviews on here are from people who can't profoundly relate to Sean's pain and his situation.
Some people would of expected more action or just a different film, It was just a really put together well film that has an uncanny amount of love in it.
The actors both Sean and Ernesto plaid a fantastic role with outstanding skills and both my wife and I didn't get bored for a single second, I would love to see a second version of this film but without ruining their bond that both Ernesto and Sean built on very unusual circumstances.
Overall the film for me gets a 9/10. It was a film I would deffo watch again.
