Don't waste your life / money on this one. As a game, the technical implementation is all right - it doesn't crash, I didn't encounter bugs and was able to complete the game. It's not possible to pause the movie portions and there's no save option so if you want to see all endings, you'll have to replay from the beginning. (You won't want to, trust me.)
Movie quality is decent and the music is passable.
Now for the negatives:
I liked the X-Files Game and Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within so it's not the genre (FMV game) that is the problem - this one is just really poorly done.
I could keep going but you probably see the pattern already. Do yourself a favor and avoid it.

Now for the negatives:
- Incompetent, idiotic writing. Kindergarten plays have more coherent, thought-out stories with fewer cliches. The whole thing is just so, so very stupid, it's really hard to describe it.
- There are more plot holes than story.
- The "science" is just... moronic. This goes hand-in-hand with the bad writing but as a sci-fi story (heavily focused on science), this is criminally bad.
- Acting ranges from mediocre to poor; I'd really prefer not seeing any of these actors in movies in the future. Everyone would be better off if they switched to other professions.
