Just what we need in these times of continued Corona, a film about a
germ from outer space that threatens to wipe out the human race.
What it really threatens to do is bore me to death. After about half an
hour I fall asleep and when I wake up nothing seems to have happened. I
fast-forward a bit and nothing seems to have happened. At the end there’s a
race against time. ‘There are now 30 seconds to self-destruct.’
Fewer than that before I fall asleep again.
Where oh where do all the stars in other reviews come from. What a disappointment!
