Hey, I quite like Aaron Eckhart as a general opinion. Many of his films are reasonably enjoyable. It's not high brow stuff, but you pretty much know what you're going to get, and that's fine. This one however is something else.

I found the personal flashback/interactions to be total drivel with little to no real point as far as moving the film forward. The general plot behind the film seems to be almost unrecognisable and without any real purpose. Plus, the whole film seems to be edited together in a disjointed fashion has no flow whatsoever. Some of the acting is not the worst given what they had to work with, but that's about it.

It's all a bit of a train wreck to be honest. I'd comment more about certain ridiculous plot lines, but don't want to give anything away with spoilers - although it's doubtful it would spoil your enjoyment, because frankly there isn't any there to spoil.

Let's hope his next outing offers something more in the way of satisfaction because there's precious little of it here.

What a wonderfully engaging film. It's a package of emotional loss and resettling, genuinely amusing side lines, light romance and drama with a one percent Science Fiction content used to tie it all together.

If you're expecting to watch a Sci-Fi indy film with all that may encompass, I suspect you're going to be one of the ones on here using the incredibly tired cliche about having wasted an hour and three quarters of their life.

The Sci-Fi element is more of a small Segway to bind all the other components. It's a weird spike - that's it, it doesn't need explaining, the film doesn't require it.

The acting, story, setting and outcome make up for what I was originally expecting in every way and left me with an emotional feel good lift that was far from expected and very much appreciated and enjoyed.

Highly recommended as a light but emotional feel good drama - with a teensy tiny bit of Sci-Fi thrown in.

Having just watched this, I can't help but feel it's being marked very low. The acting is certainly not terrible, the movie is well shot and by the end, you'll realise the story is pretty good.

However, if you're watching this thinking it's some kind of American Werewolf in London or any other film along those lines, you'll be sorely disappointed.

It's not lycanthrope based, it's not a horror, there are no thrills and...... thankfully, it's not comparable to Blair Witch project as someone bizarrely seems to have expected .

It is however fairly well made, and retains your attention throughout to an unexpected conclusion.

It's well worth a try.
