was enjoying the first act, solid 1, family had a decent dynamic.
it was decent but then it kinda went nowhere.allot of things happen and it feels like it wants to balance both the family drama and sci fi flick but ultimately what you get is an above average mix of both that sometimes works and sometimes just doesn't.
i don't find the family all that enjoyeable to watch besides their first scene together and honestly the film would have been better if it just stuck with one of its ideas.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A man becomes mysteriously compelled toward a remote location where he witnesses something that defies explanation, in a film that treats the unknowable with patience and visual majesty. It's less about alien invasion and more about the transformative power of encountering something genuinely beyond understanding.
