THE-Pedro5September 29, 2025While the film maintains enough momentum to hold attention, it suffers from a clutter of subplots that feel only loosely tied to the main narrative.

Shawn_SimmonsSeptember 29, 2025The witty dialogue and smooth multi-threaded storytelling breathe life into what could have been a formulaic sci-fi disaster movie. It’s a shame the adaptation avoids exploring the deeper implications of “message theory,” which could have added significant weight.
