I’ve worked Halloween Horror Nights at Universal for a few years now and this is kinda like a haunt event in real life. As an HHN fan, this was really entertaining! Kinda Cabin in the Woods vibe. If you’re a haunts/haunted house/maze fan, you’ll like this movie!

I think it is important to show the importance of the science and it’s positive and negative effects on history but the reality is that the pacing of this movie was too slow. There were things like the brief supernatural element and strange dream sequences that added nothing to the story and reminded me of the pretentious nature of some film students from my university days. I’m all for dramatic drawn out moments but there were too many that just stood there for minutes doing nothing. Then it was frustrating that for the last 2/3rds of the movie she didn’t want to do anything because she missed her husband, which I’m all for romanticism but this is a movie and just didn’t lead us anywhere useful. I wanted to learn more about Marie Curie and her contribution. Honestly the best few minutes were when she decided to take a stand and help the soldiers and personally deliver X-ray machines to the front. I would’ve watched an entire movie about that story line!
