If someone tells you it's existentialism or that's it's cerebral, it's neither. Yes, it leaves you questioning reality and our souls, and life after death, and a thousand other theories about what transpires. But, either most of the important content wound up on the cutting floor or someone overthought this.
The trailer drew me in, along with the cast. (Leguizamo and Newton, specifically.) That's what kept me watching until the end. As far as having a message, I would've actually appreciated some message, any message, by the time it came to the church scene, but even that flatlined.
It falls short of any critical thinking, as far as having a message. If there's a "reset", then why did the baby die? If it was "the rapture" then why did two innocent children get left behind? If the message is to save these two so they can grow up in Chicago and eventually repopulate the world, then it seems a sequel should be coming. Whatever, my brain checked out so I wouldn't care enough to watch it.
Not horror, maybe suspense, definitely mislabeled.
