Good movie but grossly overrated
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The acting in this movie is really good.
The dog is the only reason to watch the movie. Spoiler though, the dog actor is played by two dogs.
The story is implausible, as you know all fictional survival stories must be. And yet we could put up with the unbelivability of it all if the actors were good to watch, but no, there is very little chemistry between them. It was just watching two actors saying their lines, trying to get it over with. The sex scene was wooden and cringey. I can't help thinking if Michael Fassbender took the role (as he was the first choice), this might have turned out better. Idris Elba couldn't melt butter and Kate Winslet didn't want to be there. The best actor was the dog. (Why is he listed at the bottom of the cast??) Reason to watch this? Not if there is something better.
Really enjoyable film that keeps your interest and makes you care about the characters.
A terrific film and should not be missed, really enjoyed it
