I don't understand the bad reviews. Sci-fi movies are often cliched, unimaginative and lacking any originality. The premise of this movie is quite good and no, it isn't oscar worthy. But how many sci-fi films are? It is totally enjoyable and yes, I did care about the characters, some more than others, and the characters are developed well enough that I could pinpoint the requisite bad guys transformation and the flake becoming a leader. And tje character development was accomplioshed without the annoying long backstories films like Battle LA need to try to get us to care. My best guess is that either the reviewers are attempting to appear "educated" or too cool". I absolutely wish made for tv sci-fi was anywhere near this good. If you want an enjoyable, riveting sci-fi movie, this movie will not disappoint. It is an the level of Cloverfield, so judge if it'll work for you from that.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

It's amazing what you can do on a low budget with one set. I know of only one other movie which utilizes one set. It is extremely difficult as you don't have the change of scenery to hold people's interest5. This movie not only accomplishes that, but excels. The writing is so tight and right on. Every word is well though out. Nothing excess here. The acting was impressive. The scene is a tight space, but the use of camera angles adds diversity, and the limited mvements have more presence. There wasn't a boring moment. On the contrary, it was gripping from begining to end. Absolutely recommend. The director is a cinematic genius.
