This movie deals with the arrival of an object from space and how it affects the people that touch it. There are no car chases or CGI to make up for a story or a some super climatic battle in the end. I am sure some will find fault with the object looking like something from a 50's movie. It is a low budget personal drama. The FBI involvement supposedly adds some X-Files like conspiracy but it is almost played as comic relief and not quite resolved. It is a little slow and did have more potential. It is more like an episode of one of the anthologies like Outer Limits. It does not insult your intelligence, people do not do a lot of dumb things, etc. to drive the drama along.
As for wasting 2 hrs of your life, the movie does not last that long. If you like more sensitive (not all action driven) sci fi stories then it will not likely be a waste of time.
