I just saw this movie tonight and oh my god, what a pretentious and super slow paced movie this turned out to be. You know, had the story at least had a decent payoff or plot twist then I would have been ok with the slow pace but there wasn’t even that.

And is it just me, or is Netflix just full of these “Earth is dying so humanity must leave” movies? I’ve now seen three Netflix sci-fi movies with this premise.

I struggled through it as well. As I watched I kept hoping...

It was a let down, imho.

Watched the new version of the Highway Men on Netflix last night, Best one yet in my opinion.
