It's a good Sci-fi movie

It looks low budget, but they have some outstanding special effects. It seems that Sci-fi is going back to the character driven stuff that was big in the 1970's. Way more than just some cool effects, the movie centers on the main character, Nick Eastman, an math genus going to MIT who intercepts a hacker's commutation that he and his friend, Marbelle track down while traveling to California to drop off his girlfriend Haley. The situation takes a wild twist when they don't find the Hacker, Nomad, but get caught up in a government quarantine headed up by Dr. Damon played by Laurence Fishburne.

What I like best about the movie is that it has a feel of contemporary times as well. the Science fiction has elements of a superhero movie as they get deeper into Dr. Damon's plot and what an alien presence has to do with it.

The movie does have to stand on the legs of the main character, which could have been a little bit more develop .

Overall, it's Sci-fi worth seeing
