You may enjoy this if you like low-key sci-fi with mystery, suspense, and a teen connection, somewhat in the vein of I Am Number Four or The Maze Runner; Not for you if you want fast pacing or clear answers.
Pros: intriguing mystery; emotional teen bond; decent effects | Cons: slow opening; thin storyline; unclear ending
