Amazing director. Solid cast.

But having read "Nuclear War: A scenario" last year, this film's depiction of the way professionals react to high pressure decisions does not seem accurate.

I realise that the idea is to show to human side to these decisions but a lot of the scenes make it seem like the characters are not sure of what action to take in situations that they routinely train for.

This could have been explored in such better more in depth ways than having most of the cast pausing way too long to make vital time sensitive decisions.

This is still defo worth a watch. I really wanted to love this and will still be excited for Bigelow's next film.

Chloe Grace Moretz absolutely aces this film. The emotional performance from her is top class.

This film very much reminded me of Children of Men in pace and tension but also it's the other film I can think of that has a powerful, courageous pregnant woman in it.

I think certain ideas in the story could have been explored better (not much back story to the android uprising) but the film is about the struggle of the mother so I get why we don't really leave that narrative.

Worth a watch, if only for the excellent performance of the lead.

This is the kind of thing you could imagine on a cheap movies channel.

The story was actually interesting enough but the acting was very wooden so it was difficult to get emotionally involved in the film. Plus the random black out edits from scene to scene made it feel like they had run out of ideas so just flipped to somewhere else in the story.

Still, I got to the end so it can't have been that bad. Perhaps one to watch during a pandemic when you've watched all the other films available on Netflix.
