Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of close encounters and anyone interested in what war does to people. The aliens are the hook, but the human reactions are the story. If you loved Disclosure Day or Edge of Tomorrow, start here. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
An aggressive race of aliens took over Planet Earth and humanity's at its end, living in giant bunkers below ground. Young Military rookie S.U.M.1 (Iwan Rheon) is sent to the surface to save a group of unprotected survivors.
