Adams is annoying AF, and I found it tedious beyond belief. Better as a short story.

It's in the Top 5 scifis of all time.
I wouldn't put it in my top 50 SF films all time. Easily the most disappointing film of 2016 and maybe ever. It was a total letdown.

Just watched it found it extremely underwhelming, it's either a 5 or a 4 from me.

Enemy meets Contact, I really liked it. Great visual and sound effects, the ending is cool.
That's right! You're about to be killed by a zamboni!

Garbage. 0/10. Terribly shot, lit, bad VFX, awful acting, 0 character development, pretentious, terribly edited, sound design sucks, stupid plot holes, pseudo intellectual garbage movie.

8/10. I found it immensely absorbing. Its not an action movie. Without spoilers, I had some issues with the ending but its definitely worth wathcing.

A bit overrated, but it's definitely in the top ten of the year for me and Adams deserved a nomination.

Is pretty much spot on imo, 8/10 not divisive type of movie.

I wish I had listened to the warnings.
It is every bit as bad as people say.
I give it a 2/10 for the effects, which are nice.

Nope. It's a terrible film. The 'SF' in it is essentially wasted for what is a Lifetime movie. I hated this film. I really did. I am glad that Adams wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It was nowhere near an Oscar worthy performance.

Yeah, I think it cost me about $15 to watch it. I would like my money back.

That's your own fault. You knew exactly what kind of movie it was going to be within the first two minutes. Get up, walk about and go see something else.
In about 10 years after your balls have dropped, you might find you like this movie.

True, I should have realized this would turn out to be a Lifetime movie with better effects.
