Now this may not be a great movie but it's definitely a good one. And once all is revealed highly original. I did guess it before ( after a couple of clues ) I knew the whole story but that didn't ruin the good twists toward the end. Two stories run parallel to each other and both get better and better. As many have said the movie starts of slow and uninteresting. During the first half hour my wife kept asking me what the heck the movie is about but after a couple of plot reveals the story tightens and weaves to come together in the end. O'Brian as always does a good job and is helped by an earnest supporting cast. Pacing also picks up in the second half. As aforementioned stick with it and you should enjoy it as much as we did.

If you took the tv show "Dark" and condensed it/dumbed it down a bit into a movie and then put it in an American setting - that's what this movie is.

I think M. Night borrowed a little too heavily from Dark here but to be fair it is solidly executed, probably a better overall execution than most of his movies. A bit slow at the start but the last half is pretty entertaining and the ending is mostly satisfying.

I saw most of the twists coming but if you haven't seen Dark you might be pretty surprised.

Even if you don't love the story here the acting is pretty good. Dylan O'Brien is always great and Lauryn Ambrose is also very convincing. Eric Lange is a very underrated actor and he did well in his supporting role. Whoever did the casting here.. A+

I went into this knowing nothing about this movie, except the genre. I am glad that that was the case! I had no expectations and was able to just let the plot unfold and experience the discovery right along with the protagonists. I really enjoyed it. If it's not too late, I'd recommend not reading the plot summary or any detailed reviews before watching.

It starts out feeling a bit like a family drama but pay attention because sprinkled throughout are little plot supporting elements. You might even reach a point where you'll be wondering just what in the world is going on. Don't worry... it's all explained fairly neatly before it's done. Just hang in there!
