Review Detail

Wow man, I really appreciate what Wraith has done here. The transmission at the end with David's research, the fear test in the opening, the flaskbacks with James Franco, and the extra conversations and bondings between characters. It definitely made the first act of the film waaaay longer than the second and third, but I didnt mind the change in pacing one fuckin bit. It only made the following conflict that much more engaging and fleshed out. Very very well done. This turned my (controversially) favorite alien movie into one of my favorite movies, period! I loved it when I saw it, but was so disappointed by the pacing and lack of true character/world building. It had so much potential, and Wraith brought that out tenfold. 10/10.

PRO-TIP:
Watch the credits to the end.
Also watch the 2hr38min version.
