The first half hour of the movie is difficult to immerse yourself into, but if you're willing to invest in it and hope, you'll find a sci fi drama with horror elements that really delivers all the way to the end.
Two parts "Frankenstein" (1931) One part "The Matrix" (1999) One part "Quantum Leap" (1989-1993) One Part "Upgrade" (2018) Two parts "Ghost in the Shell" (1995)
Phylicia Rashad and Amanda Christine are both amazing. The cast stays small. A couple of performances weren't great but they weren't bad, either. Everyone was believable. Mamoudou Athie handles the role beautifully.
The filmmakers saw what Javier Botet did (wonderfully) in "Mama" (2013) and hired Troy James to do something similar but also very original and effective.
It's simple, stays small and tight, and the story becomes something truly unique and impactful. I'd put it in top 5 sci fi movies of the 21st century along with "Upgrade," "Under the Skin," "District 9," and (hopefully) Dune 1 & 2, which is due out next year and will complete the story in the same manner as The Godfather 1 & 2.
