Enjoyable-enough mid-level sci-fi/horror that is essentially just the action of something like Kong: Skull Island (tbh there are probably a few dozen films in this “like” category) transplanted into an episode of Doctor Who with a Doctor Who-level budget. The story is generic and unremarkable but the performances just about carry the film. Anthony Ramos is solid, playing the role that probably would have gone to Will Smith 20 years ago. And Kristofer Hivju once again proves he works best when he’s cast as a weird little chaos gremlin.
A quintessential 3/5. Forgettable fun.
