I found it enjoyably weird, and chuckled repeatedly throughout, as it was hitting me over the head with it's space hammer of subtlety. Three out of five feels right, and I might have liked it more if it hadn't had huge stars and was made with a Dark Star-level budget. At least I got to see it in IMAX, which let me admire the set design and special effects in greater detail, and I did like the arctic planet critters, who are basically an armadillo/pillbug hybrid.
Does it star Mark Ruffalo? If it does it's likely to be at least interesting. Mark Ruffalo is making weird, great little non commercial progressive social films by great directors. He's usually worth a look.
I have seen no evidence of this movie's existence outside of this newsletter. Are they just not promoting this high budget movie from a name director starring Edward Batman Diggory?
I don't think the film's backers thought it would be a box office hit, so they probably put the brakes on marketing money in order to cut their losses.
It's weird enough to be enjoyable.
