The movie looks to be a shocking film from the outset. Unfortunately it doesn't surprise anyone, and continues to be disappointing. Iwan is clearly trying the "life after GOT" approach. But he just doesn't convince. His stock acting style in GOT and other series was the "surprised wide eyed menacing look" and the "quiet lad who says nothing look" which feature here quite often. So his complete lack of acting diversity sadly shines through. He had moments of promise in GOT but the movie industry is savage, so I'm not confident about seeing him in much beside this sort of thing. Anyway, woeful movie and just badly written, maybe that was the problem. Character development flawed.

Its beyond my understanding how this film have a 3.9 rating. We live in a strange world,indeed. Dont be fooled by this rating, the movie is absolutely great.

I have enjoyed this movie. I got to watch it not expecting anything from it - in fact, I came across it by chance, having never heard of it before. Maybe that was the key in appreciating it (by not setting expectations too high). Anyway, you need to like psychological, slow-paced, rather contemplative pieces of work to feel at ease watching this one. True, action is sometimes redundant and the pace could have been a bit faster, but overall, this film takes you to the point where you need to make up your own mind: is the soldier actually getting mad, or is the threat real? The ending, of course, gives the answer. But I have liked the suspense, not knowing which one is the right one - although plenty of clues are provided regularly if you watch carefully. Yeah, the ending's really good, if not too short. Overall, the film can not be ranked among cheap movies. Although it was probably shot on a shoestring budget, that doesn't show. But to enjoy it, the trick is that you really need to be patient, which may turn off a number of viewers.

Well acted, filmed and designed, this film has all the things it needs except one - a good script. The cheapest stage of any film is the script writing, because it takes place independently of all the others and only requires one person and a $300 laptop. That is the stage when the writer should have decided to work out for himself and then tell the audience the answers to questions like:Why can't we kill giant crabs with tanks, drones and aerial gunships?How did they travel through space to get here apparently naked?Why does no-one have any drone footage of them? Who decided to call them The Nonesuch and why?If they are real why are some survivors more scared of the army?If V.A.X. 7 didn't kill himself why is there that blood stain on the wall?When S.U.M. 1 saw V.A.X. 7 in the shadows he must have actually been there because he was recorded on video, which must mean that he'd broken into a maximum security military bunker without being caught by any of the cameras and then escaped again before the lights came back on, which is daft.What were the toxic emissions, human or Nonesuch, and why didn't they kill S.U.M. 1?Why call someone "S.U.M. 1" unless you want them to doubt their own sanity?
