bornskeptic I loved how it started. I was pretty pumped as the initial setup promised something epic. Then, honestly, i don't know what the hell happened. The entire storyline flew off the rails as soon as the protagonist was on the Arrowhead. And it just got worse from there. I would start to grasp what i thought was some coherence. Then, poof, gone. The acting was decent, the efx were quite good for its budget, the setting very cool. But the story, especially considering the promise, was a huge let down. Not to say that some of the ideas weren't good. The Raaf 'character' was interesting, if inconsistent in his programming...the whole 'time dilation' thing wasn't completely original but i still liked it...the symbiosis between the people and creatures was also kinda neat. But that last part, like a lot of the rest of the movie, was never fully explained. It was just kind of used when it was convenient to the plot. But worst of all even though there was enough ideas (again, some of them good) in this for 5 movies, this thing actually got boring. How is that possible? It was 10-15 minutes too long in the last third. So i usually ask myself to rate a movie based on if i would watch it again. Some movies that leave me confused or like i missed something make me want to see them again to see if i could fill in some of the blanks. This isn't one of them.

mstyles-624-399356 What I like about this movie, is how it unravels and plays out, just enough mystique. It is not your typical sci-fi. The acting is damn decent. Plot is intriguing and unusual. It does get a bit 'out there'. But the fact that it is different, and not full of CGI and big explosions.. makes it a 'diamond in the rough'..

concours-13531 That reviewer must have been smoking some great stuff if they really believe that. Does it get better halfway through? Compared to a complete rotten movie at the start yeah it gets better then completely rotten but not that dramatic.Don't waste your time. Thank God for Netflix streaming since it's relatively free when you look at it. Look elsewhere for a sci-fi movie for your entertainment unless you enjoy torture.

kualajimbo Honestly I had never heard about this film going in, so I had no idea what to expect. This Arrowhead is pretty good quality for something low budget, but there are times, particularly in the first scene, where you could probably guess this film had limited funds.The film certainly has many weaknesses, like a lack of subtlety, it often brings a lot of attention to details that at the time seem completely pointless and a waste of time, most of these moments eventually have a purpose but it still stood out at the time.Another weakness is consistency (spoiler paragraph), why is one alien man broken out of a rock looking egg when the other isn't? why did the protagonist find a skeleton of a woman who was not dead? most of the inconsistencies come from the whole 'monster/human hybrid' story, which to be honest I'm not convinced it was all that necessary, however that's probably just me being a tad confused as to how it all worked.As for what the film did right, it had a pretty stunning location for most of the film, near the start of the film I remember looking at the sky behind the character and liking what I saw. It was usually a very pretty film to look at. Also the scene at the start was quite intense and did get me interested.Not a great film but if you look at the IMDb page of this films director Jesse O'Brien this seems to be the first feature length film he has ever directed. While I wouldn't necessarily be anticipating a continuation on THIS story I would like to follow Jesse to see what else he comes up with next.
