Absolutely brilliant! If you’re looking for the usual storyline with generals and boffins, zap guns and spaceships, look somewhere else. This manages to be engrossing, completely focused on the human experience of confronting the unknown, and completely avoids all cliches, delivering an enthralling and intelligent drama. A masterpiece of slow-burning suspense, it combines action and mystery with deep characterisation and real emotional impact. It’s themes of the human and alien within us, our separateness and connectedness, resonate with our pandemic experience. Everything - acting, music, camerawork, special effects - is top quality. Totally recommended!
