Enjoyable until the reveal
Visually stunning, but too slow.
45,000 years ago, a group of people desperately try to evade a malevolent force, they must hone their survival skills to stay alive.
I watched this at The Odeon, as part of the Screen Unseen releases, I'd like to rewatch again at home, just to try and understand it a little better.
Billed to me as a horror movie, and whilst I'd say there are horror elements, please don't go expecting a horror movie, if you do, you'll be disappointed.
Whilst I wouldn't say it's my type of film, there are several positives I took away. The cinematography is quite something, it looks amazing, and the actors do a grand job, consider the language they're using, and there is a degree of tension and expectation. The music is good too, very 80's.
Sadly it just go anywhere, and the pacing for me was the major frustration, when I'm in the cinema and fidgeting, I know I'm at the wrong film.
I can't really go much higher than a five, as it committed the biggest film sin of all, it was boring, but it's not without merit.
5/10.
