I love sci-fi, so when I heard all the hubbub about this movie I was excited to see it.
I was disappointed.
It's like someone had a clever idea for what should have been a 30 min short film and tried to stretch it out into a 2 hour movie. These characters are never developed. I know nothing about their personal goals or desires, and they don't change at all, they have no arc. They are cardboard stand-ins so that the writer can flesh out their clever plot idea.
There's also very little conflict here, and a good plot needs good conflict. So without a good plot or character development, the film felt quite empty.
