"Watched on July 17th, 2023. It was alright. The first 30-40 minutes was great, but then it just sorta fell apart at some point. Being almost 2 hours doesn't help either. The alien effects, well.. it's all CGI, which ruins it. If they would've taken the time and done more practical effects, it would've been a better movie imo."

He then embarks on a search to determine the origins of the transmission that leads him into a Hitchcockian labyrinth of paranoia and intrigue. This was one of the earliest Hollywood movies made to cash in on the success of The X-Files on TV. After a slightly slow introduction, the movie picks up pace in its depiction of a large-scale conspiracy,"
