Loved the performances from the soldiers, their voices were extremely believable; they spoke with clear intent and purpose throughout.
The action was well choreographed. I found the sound design to be well done and matched the FX (visual) and corroborated the story being told.
The dialog made good sense, and there was an excellent focus on information being conveyed back and forth throughout the characters' interplay, and for the story itself.
I found the revelations and discoveries to be quite interesting, feasible, believable, and relatively congruent with science to be satisfying.
The first film (for this individual) which relied heavily on "on- the-ground" military action that I felt was non-offensive, nor hyper-stylized...
I applaud the film-makers here! Rock solid; Enjoyable.

Is this the best movie of 2016? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Is this the worst movie of 2016? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Spectral is just a decent movie which I wouldn't recommend to everybody. By that I mean, if you are someone who watches 3-4 movies/month, skip Spectral and watch something else, a more 'worth- your-time' movie. On the other hand, if you watch a lot of movies (more than 3-4/week) and you are into sci-fi and a gamer(optional), then watch it.
*Nice special effects: check.
*Somewhat interesting plot: check.
*Decent acting: check. *Is everything plausible or scientifically backed up: NOPE.
*Does plot come without holes: NOPE (but how many movies or series have flawless script and plausible/possible scenes? Especially the sci-fi ones?).
At the end of the day I enjoyed watching this film more than, let's say, hmmm... :
*The Expendables 2,3,4,...,244
*Transformers 2,3,4,...,127
*Fast and Furious #WeLostCount...
Nothing more, nothing less than a solid 6/10. I will definitely watch it after a couple of years.

So Faaaaaaar fetched,but fun nevertheless)))The plot holes and logic "holes"are the size of an ocean)))but action is good,effects are ok,acting is good too.Ok to watch.
Would have given it a 10 based on story concept alone. But unfortunately it was a bit tedious in delivery.
The concept is like none I've seen before! So that alone made it worth seeing.
The action scenes are pretty awesome too. If only the characters and writing were sharper in delivery.
The twist at the end kinda cool too.
The hero tech tho a bit unbelievable in such a short time to save the world. But it's still a very very cool movie regardless.

Very good movie, I would recommend it to others seeking a new science fiction story. The second I saw the cover to this movie I was a bit interested I watched the trailer and was sucked in. I immediately watched the film, and loved it. Great idea for a movie, excellent CGI and special effects, good story though it was a tiny bit too short and I wish we got to see more details of plot lines and more action, but not much more is needed. Also it did not have a plot like most sci-fi movies today, meaning it was unique, immediately eye catching and did not have a plot that was too "tryhard" or left me lost or confused for half of the movie by putting too many side stories into it. Overall, it was one of the best movies I've seen lately.

Clyne: I think you're reaching.
Fran Madison: Our business requires us to make suppositions.
Clyne: My business requires us to prove them. Your technician's job is to find glitches, so, he sees glitches. Your job is to find the enemy, so, you see the enemy. Locals believe in spirits, so they see spirits. Everyone is biased in one way or another. So, my answer to you right now is that we lack data to support any theory.
