Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and little 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
- Best for anyone who believes we're not alone and anyone who loves a world with magic in it. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. Liked Predator or Spectral? This is a good next one. Its magic has rules, and the story plays by them.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
A Mexican scientific team and an Arab expedition clash over a powerful piece of metal hidden in the jungle. Oh yeah, and there's also aliens, a psychic, a sorcerer and a hostile tribe who do the occasional human sacrifice.
