After just a few minutes, we (wife and I) were pulled into the suspense and drama of this movie. For over two hours we followed the tense, taut events with several 'whoa!!' moments.

And then it just ended. With all the effort in building up the complex, intriguing plot, I can see how a definitive ending would be difficult or impossible to create. It felt like rather than make any attempt, they just chose an abrupt, inexplicable stopping point versus an actual ending. Many plot elements were developed and left hanging.

The first two hours I'd rate this an 8 or a 9. The last 10 minutes a 2 at most.

The first 75% of the movie was fantastic, it did a great job of building suspense and the acting was top notch. The ending tried to wrap up the movie way too fast and left a lot of unanswered questions that alluded to a number of suspenseful/sci-fi plot points that never came to fruition.

In the end, the entire plot was that the US was under attack by one, or potentially several hostile threats/countries, but that is never clarified. Ok, but what about the random plot points that went no where?

Cyber attack, sure that makes sense. Auto pilot cars that intentionally clog up major motor ways, that makes sense. Navigation systems disrupting freight ships and airplanes, that makes sense. But it falls apart from there.

The noise was part of the attack but we never find out what exactly it was, what was generating it, what the extent of the damage it was causing, but let's not get into that aside from it's most likely just part of a shock and awe campaign.

The deer and flamingos congregating on the property is just simply explained as "The animals know something we don't" but let's just leave it at that and not go into any more detail or explain any of it.

There's a random shed that looks at the house, and there's a bed of leaves with a body indentation where someone has been sleeping. Super creepy, is this another character that has been stalking the families? Nope, it's never explained and doesn't factor into the plot at all.

The son gets bit by an insect and his teeth start falling out the next day. Is there a plague that will wipe out civilization? Nope, they just get some random pills from a handyman and that's the end of that plot line.

Is mom dead? Probably, but let's not get into that, instead let's just have a super awkward scene where a drunk husband and wife come close to cheating on their spouses.

There's a shot of the US flag on the moon with the earth in the background, is there an alien invasion? Nope, we just threw that scene in there because why not? It might loosely represent that the US is under attack but otherwise we just really wanted this scene in the movie for no reason.

So much wasted potential. Seems like a typical Netflix movie that blew its budget on the actors and a few CGI scenes and then tried to close everything out as quickly and cheaply as possible.
