I went into this movie blind. I had never even heard of it until yesterday but I'm a sci-fi junkie so I had immediate interest. This made for a really enjoyable experience to start the movie. I like the premise and the setup is highly intriguing.
Unfortunately this movie is held back by a bad script that doesn't know what to do or how to execute it. It slows down drastically to the point of me struggling to stay awake, even with a Red Bull. On top of that, the acting and dialogue are extremely low quality for a theatrically released movie.
The director and musical composer do their best to try to elevate this movie as much as possible, but it's not enough to offset the bad script. (1 viewing, opening Friday 6/24/2022)

I figured out who the bad guy was so early and never once doubted it, which is a failure for a mystery. And the explanation in the end is so convoluted that it completely strains any believability.
The amount of things that need to happen for this loop to continue is ridiculous. I can buy the doctor going back into cryo sleep because she gets sick. But the others are trying to kill each other. And they all coincidentally do this by forcing each other into the cryo tubes.
And don't even get me started on the soldier needing to go outside so he could come back at the exact perfect time to make her plan work. I groaned when she said that.
