Review of The Signal

The Signal (2024)
4/10
Had potential, fell apart
24 March 2024
Well, I'm disappointed. It was an interesting setup, but half-way through the whole thing just completely comes apart at the seams: things make little sense, too many cliches, and a silly ending. Just a lot of illogical stuff, and it desperately tries to be grander and more significant than it actually is, or can be, given the plot. Oh, and the actors mostly aren't fantastic either. I actually liked the girl, but Florian David Fitz for example is primarily doing his best wet towel impression and it was really hard for me to feel for him in the way I was supposed to.

Save yourself some time, watch "Dark" instead. And if you've watched that already, watch it again. Or, you know, one of the many other series available on Netflix - but not this.

I'm a German speaker btw, so I always enjoy good German language movies or series and I really wanted to like this, but - this ain't it, chief.
