Matt V So the production and acting are sub-par, but I liked the movie overall. There's value in having the indigenous portray their own culture. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Siân B Only reason I gave it this was because of the culture Acting was terrible and the dynamic of the children was cringy. If they think this is how children act, they need to get their head screwed on. The constant cuts to just the kids sitting there in dead silence for over a minute on their phone while is very realistic isn't enjoyable to watch. The premise is amazing but the ending was lack luster; no way in hell the aliens would just feck off after being beaten by some kids. This is no where near the THING and anyone that compares it isn't a true fan of it. It's a cheap rip off. Loved the culture and the concept: hated the way they went about it. Thanks for reading my Ted talk x Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Oluwadunsin A The acting in this movie was not it at all. The plot of the story was quite good, the editing and effects were alright also. But the acting kinda ruined everything, the kids and the adults in the movie alike. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review The J Having lived in a small northern town on the border of Alaska and BC, Canada, anyone who says the acting is bad, is really out of touch with what growing on in these isolated towns are like. There are people who think if people are not as shallow and ignorant as them, and focused only on football and drinking Bud Light beer, then they must be 'acting bad'. There is some really good acting from these kids, and a great debut for a director. The touches of Inuit culture and intimate moments between generations is beautiful. And even the self-referential critic of the 'how many pictures of salmon' dialogue is better then the entirety of She Hulk or Black Panther.... Sure this is not a 100 million dollar CG movie, so anyone who thinks this is 'lacking original elements' has no idea what it is like to pull of the movie they did with the budget they did. In fact probably their biggest crime was showing too much of the creatures rather then going off imagination... but the fact they made it work with what they had says a lot about the director, and their abilities... Regardless of the few haters, I think the director has at least a few really great films in them... Even some of David Fincher's work had it's critics in the beginning, absolutely sure he was a horrible director but eventually even if the people who can't get out of their own culture for a second, there is enough people who can that these director definitely has a large audience who will get their work... Looking forward to seeing more from the kids, and the director... either based in the same cultural wrappings, or something new...

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Lousy acting and script throughout. The critics must be catering to the politically correct here. Can’t believe the high score they gave. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
