2/10
This is a 2/10 at best.

Warning: Spoilers
A few opening minutes of back story and then off to the races without giving the audience any idea why or where he is going, ok fine. Then the paltry asteroid shower disabled the space ship without any collision avoidance systems? Hmmm, starting to lose me already within the first few minutes.

Then the crash, on Earth millions of years ago and the only other survivor is a 8yo girl who doesn't speak your language? Umm what ?? There are loads upon loads of fancy gadgets, battery guns, spaceships and not one person thought to bring a iphone with a translator? Come on writers ! What is she doing on this mission anyways with her parents? How was she supposed to communicate with everyone once she arrived?

Perhaps some other survivors would have brought this movie more life, and dialogue. I'm guessing the writers didn't want to get too intricate and just wanted to show off the poor $45M cgi movie.

The story is crap. There is just grunting and pointing with repetition for all the talking and it gets annoying fast. The action is ok but boring and I just ended up quitting about half way through.

The actual screenplay is probably 20 pages long, No need for a sit down read through as it's just so simple. Overall, this shouldn't have been produced, and to no surprise it is by the same writer/director team who did a Quiet Place. You know, the movie where nobody is allowed to talk.

I see a common theme.
