The latest release from mediocre action director McG
wouldn’t even cause a blip on my radar usually. After 2017’s The Babysitter, a
surprisingly fun slice of splatstick horror, I’m willing to give the man
another chance. I mean, that film had him venturing right out of his comfort
zone and that seems to be a good fit for him, and his latest is a coming-of-age
sci-fi adventure flick that looks like one big load of 80’s Spielberg worship.
I’ll admit, I was genuinely looking forward to this one. It took less than ten
minutes for me to realise that I had made a terrible mistake.
