What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe general read is positive: most people think Dark Matter is worth watching, thanks to a slick multiverse thriller premise and strong performances from Joel Edgerton as Jason Dessen and Jennifer Connelly as Daniela. It lands best on visuals, story, and acting, with Alice Braga and Jimmi Simpson getting especially warm mentions, while Blake Crouch’s adaptation gets credit for keeping the chaos interesting. Where some viewers bounce is pacing, with complaints that the middle can drag and that Jason and Daniela are more divisive than the sci-fi hook. Still, the verdict leans in: it’s creepy, clever, and mostly carried by its leads, not just the concept.
