Intriguing at first, the film then becomes very confusing, and still leaves room for explanation by the end of the film. Dan Stevens features in about a quarter of the film. The rest of the time we 'see' him only through first-person mode. Why was it done this way? And why do we see messages as if watching through a mask? We learn more about the story by jumping backwards and forwards, but this is also very confusing, especially also since the action takes place in two universes. At times I thought I was watching 'Skyline' again. The film also played like a video game, rendering most of the action not very suspenseful or serious. What was Will Porter (Dan Stevens) actually doing for Alterplex? Yes, they needed him in case of emergency, but what was he doing for them in the meantime? Who made the drones and who operates them? Nope, I didn't enjoy this film, as it was too confusing and there were way too many loopholes. 'Skyline' meets 'Hardcore Henry'.
Some visuals were amazing, though.
