With a box office loss 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
- If you count yourself among space nerds and fans of close encounters, this one's for you. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect sex.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
An unlikely crew – an astronaut, his intrepid daughter, and a quintet of sympathetic, albeit violent, alien creatures – seek revenge against a space industry baron.
