Good Sfx
Enjoy the ride
A good film with 2 of the most popular stars of Hollywood at present. Despite the limited cast this is an interesting film. A little predictable but intense nevertheless. Good Sfx for the spaceship and ideas for future technology but it won't leave a lasting impression.

Jennifer Lawrence
First movie of the year it's rather good movie rather bleak and dark and still mangers to tell a story that could happen. The fact the movie was made during the pandemic its rather apt there are simulaties between fact and fiction and the way scientists always think they are right and those who appose and think there's no comet heading towards earth. Plus there's a strong cast headed by dicaprio and Lawrence even Streep as the president of America overall good start to the year

Far too long, far too dull
So, I guess I'm one of those people who were warned by other reviews not to go into this expecting to see a Black Widow movie and ignored the advice. I kind of did expect something along those lines, just a little bit, and I was therefore seriously disappointed. I'm not adverse to a lack of action and don't mind having to use my brain when watching a movie but this just didn't grab me at all and felt like it was trying too hard to be too many different things, while not really achieving any of them.

Jennifer Lawrence does an incredible job, in what is a very demanding role. But, this is just far too long and far too dull.

Not usually a big Jennifer Lawrence fan but she did great in this one. This spy thriller was well done all around. Not as much action as some but it held it's own. The actors all did well and the story played out with plenty if twists and turns. Overall very entertaining and keeps the interest throughout. Worth a watch!

A good espionage Thriller
I didn't see many reviews before seeing this, just a trailer. It's a very stylish spy thriller with some great cast members.
The trailer made it seem quite a seductive thriller, whilst it does have some sex scenes and nudity it's gratuitous rather than sexy. It's quite violent and brutal at times with some torture scenes.
Overall the story is interesting but not gripping and the pacing is up and down in the 2nd half of the film. Thankfully the ending was decent and Lawrence does well in a challenging role.

Great dystopian world
I read this book some years ago, but it's one of those that kind of sticks with you. Especially in the crazy, chaotic world that we live in now, since around November 2016. This is the beginning of a dystopian trilogy that spawned a 4 part movie saga starring Jennifer Lawrence. If you haven't seen the movies, you should. They are pretty great and so are the books.

Great Sfx
Interesting idea
It's nice to see a story of how Magneto, Xavier and Mystique etc came to know each other. Also to see how the X-Men came to be. I like the way it's tied into real events in History. The action scenes are great and the Sfx are top notch. A very enjoyable film.

PLEASE Don’t Watch
At first I was so excited to see this movie, but I have to say this is one of the absolute WORST movies I have ever seen. The entire movie is a mixture of “what is going on?” and “why are they doing that?” I pretty much felt angry the entire movie. Definitely a letdown considering how much I love Jennifer Lawrence and her movies. This makes my top 5 most hated movies.

High production values
Not that original (0 more)
I haven't read the book so I can't compare to that. It's a well made film with a big production and talented cast. Tiny bit surprised at being a 12a rating, it's basically teenagers fighting to the death by killing each other off! Also a theme similar to many films, @Insurgent (2015) Battle Royale, @The Condemned (2007) . So not that original but decent enough to check it out.
