I give it a solid B. It starts of well and gets better. I was able to take the whole thing seriously. Rings started off better and got worse. Alot of horror films seem like this. I thought I was going to like A Cure for Wellness more than Get Out and Split at first, but then it dragged down to a C.
I want to talk about the last 10 minutes and what I was thinking. I was thinking, okay they are going to get tricky with the edits. Remember Dark Knight Rises. It shows the bat, then the timer, then the bat, then the timer. time could have happened in between edits for batman to eject. anything could happen. that is trickery in filmmaking, I was thinking something was going to happen in between all those edits between the two escape vessels. I was certain that Calvin was definitely going to end up on Earth. But i was expecting a second alien to emerge behind the lady. Maybe Calvin copied himself on the black man and that was why that one entity was coming off his leg. because there was the initial incident scene in the lab where it cuts and you never see what happens. The other thing i was thinking was that the lady was so determined for there to be no contamination on Earth that she would not risk anything. SO she transmits that warning message, then steers into deep space to die willingly. If that was true, then i am confused why she was freaking out when they show her spinning out to deep space. Maybe she saw that Jake's vessel was heading towards Earth. Or she truely intended on going to earth and the collision between vessels sent her off course and into hysteria. Either way i was certain she was going to commit suicide and Jakes intention was to commit suicide too until the alien overrode the controls.
I want to give this a higher B but I need to be stricter this year and not end up with 50 A's for 2017 by some time next year. It is definitely in the upper B range for the reasons I mentioned. Progressively got better and I was actually able to take the movie seriously.
