With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fans of close encounters and people who like to watch through their fingers. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Liked Invasion of the Body Snatchers? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not for anyone who finds explosions tiring.
A Miami TV reporter is sent to a local university to do a story on a professor who is cloning a cell from DNA found inside a meteorite. Soon after the reporter leaves, a gunman kills everyone in the professor's lab and steals the cell for a wealthy businessman. When the reporter learns that he is targeted for assassination as well, he enlists the help of two scientists to discover who is behind the crimes, why they stole the cell, and whether or not the cell should be allowed to continue living.
