Review: It’s not often that we get a good movie that combines romance, sci-fi, horror, and action. I feel if anything tries that it’s usually a straight to digital type of movie. This movie also stars two of the biggest actors in the business right now and costar Sigourney Weaver. Anytime you see Sigourney Weaver pop up in a movie you know it’s going to be good. She seems to play a similar role in this movie to the one that she did in Cabin in the Woods.
This is one of those movies where a friend of yours tells you that they called it, you can easily call them out on the lie. There’s definitely been movies like this, but I think this one takes it in the new direction.
With the movie running over two hours, I thought that it would be a lot of set up in a lot of romance in building the relationship but actually gets into the action part pretty quickly . The second and third act of the movie very action packed up until the end. It has a cheesy ending, but hey, it is romance movie. What do we call a movie that is a romance horror? RomHor?
This is a fun movie. You don’t have to pay attention too much, I will say, however, that the movie does get pretty dark and the second and third act. And I mean that in terms of lighting. But it makes sense to the movie.
