Disclaimer: if you crave your action spoon-fed by model-cute faces, repetitive enough to text while watching: this is _not_ your kind of movie.
Still, if SciFi is your fix, but this fix stopped delivering as tropes grew stale by continuous overuse this _is_ your movie. At least it was mine.
The director does takes risks, the trailer was (as often) not very representative (yet still promising). However, the movie itself delivered in spades.
Standard space-invader tropes are cut exceptionally brief. You _have_ to pay attention (put that phone away). Clues, backstory, character is presented discretely, through props, ambient sound and acting. This is more thriller than action-opera, more art house noir than Hollywood 101. Great cast, great cinematography, gearing up several times with impressive camera work and editing.
Extremely refreshing. A great scifi movie.
