What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis is a deeply mixed bag that leaves most people shrugging. In a setup where a tech billionaire lures experts to a remote island to study alien matter, the ideas feel recycled and the story execution just doesn't land for many. Isabelle Fuhrman (Annika) and Josh Hutcherson (Charlie) get the most screen time, but the real acting praise is reserved for the supporting cast, with David Thewlis (Perry) making a decent impression. The main draw is a wild, scenery-chewing performance from Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston, which people are talking about even if they're not sure it fits. It’s the definition of a split decision, with the only consensus being on some solid visuals in a sea of familiar sci-fi tropes.
