A biologist's husband returns from a military assignment bleeding profusely. On the way to the hospital, the husband and wife are abducted by cops. The wife goes into an area where an extraterrestrial presence is changing things with a group of other women.
Not so great. The main issue was audio. It seemed like the actors had all taken out a restraining order on microphones. No audio capture device was to be allowed within 20 feet of them. The plot was the next problem. It didn't really make sense and maybe that was because I couldn't hear what anyone was saying. The ending didn't make sense either, but I don't spoil that kind of thing. Suffice to say, there was CG involved. The good CG was used on an alligator and a bear, which constituted the only good parts of the film. Characters seemed to be trying to develop, but that failed because most of them died soon after they shared back-story. Pacing and cut speed were relatively slow for being such a new movie and I appreciated that. The women approaching the alien barrier looked like a scene from Ghostbusters because of their large backpacks and the guns in their hands (image). Overall, not something to go out of your way to see. I rate it o.k.
