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 anyone who believes we're not alone and people who like to watch through their fingers. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Shelve it next to Alien: Romulus.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Zorkon and Galaxia are a couple of aliens who come to Earth to learn how to reproduce in order to save their dying race. However, things go awry after Galaxia discovers that she's a lesbian, which in turn could undermine the success of their mission.
