Good stuff.

Solid B+ movie. No bullshit.
Straight up sci-fi horror action.

I feel like this is what Resident Evil should've been. Or was.
Wish we could have more movies like this.

Looks nice but i am assuming the final part will be a gigantic fight scene and a goody happy ending afterwards....which is disappointing.

I enjoyed it more than I expected. Not mind-blowing, but solid all the way around, including effects.

Montage of building weapons with Rocky-like training music made me laugh a little though.

Wow, you guys thought this was actually good? It was a D+ for me. It started off well enough, but when they went on the first raid and the ghost dropped 30 of their guys, i realized this movie had zero nuance and it was going full on in-yo-face Call of Duty bro-style. By the end, it is just comically bad.

It is a shame, because they clearly had the budget to make something cool here. Instead we got some Millennial directors wet dream he has been dreaming up since 8th grade.

Wasn't a Netflix movie. Was developed and never made it to theater because of production issues, Netflix swept in and bought it for cheap. They had nothing to do with the making Iirc.

Yeah it wasn't bad for a random movie, I was very impressed with the budget spent on effects. The city sets, the wreckage, trucks and gadgets etc. so much B level sci fi right now is just ugly. But this looked great.

Also, I'll give them this, they do something most movies won't do anymore, straight up kill kids.

This was pretty good. The story isnt the greatest but the action scenes are good, production values are high and the premise is interesting.
