The entire film feels and looks like a big season finale of Doctor Who, with the stakes and surprises to match.

A weak film, acting is ok but get ready for only one type of tongue in cheek humor aimed at normie geeks. The setting blends all the typical scifi themes but creates a heartless blob of it all, mixing zombies and time travel, post apocalyptic survival and a manhunt. An attempt of a rehash of Dr Who but without the proper scenario and a painfully slow story. Also rehashes the typical zeitgeist, nuclear powerplants are bad and blow up causing deadly clouds, timecops are bad for some reason never explained, as well as suits... Feels more like a class project on ecology with better special effects than anything else. The only valuable scene was with the girl and her dad reconnecting.

The production values are somewhat good. The story sort of makes sense. It is kind of funny.
