I'll add spoiler tags but it doesn't really matter because no one should waste time on this.
You know those films where it was obvious to all involved that it was garbage to begin with, but then someone from the cast becomes a bigger star, so they try to play off that to sell some tickets. This film is one of those turkeys.
The young girl in the film is Natalia Dyer, of "Stranger Things" game, but her age in the film tells me this was originally filmed way before the "2019" release date. Apparently someone thought her inclusion meant this film was at least worth the light of day. They were wrong.
Seriously it makes me angry that real money was spent on this film with actor salaries and whatnot. It looks like it was filmed at a nice wedding venue (the startling lack of furniture in the mansion tells me this), so that's a few grand at least, right?
Anyway, what's so wrong with it? A lot. First of all the science in this film is just plain dumb. Definitely written by someone who has no concept for any natural science (sunspots don't make the Sun "colder", idiots, the spots are the warmer areas of the Sun!).
The dialogue in this film was very sparse, to say the least. This results in 2 issues, 1) Lots of people staring at each other and not saying anything, 2) "Plot twists" are telegraphed a mile a way, because there's so little dialogue that any time someone DOES say something, it must matter (the moment the girl mentioned her sister committed suicide due to "bad berries", I knew the entire family was going to be eating them).
I guess the ending is supposed to be "controversial" or tragic or interesting in some way? Seems more lazy than anything else, and the random "bandits" appearance towards the end was so forced I laughed out loud when they showed up.
As for the acting in the film, WTF happened to Kyra Sedgwick? Or even Tim Daly? He was decent enough in Wings, but is so stiff in this film I thought some kind of "wood Medusa" had turned him into a board. Loosen up dude! Natalia Dyer does decent enough, you can tell she's a budding star.
I really don't know how this screenplay of probably 11 pages was stretched into 90 minutes, but stretch they did. Avoid!
