** SPOILERS AHEAD **
More of a series of sequences than a whole
movie. The sequences are suspenseful but the big picture is lacking. Efforts to
play with story structure by eliminating the intro and the climax are valiant
but gimmicky. Who are the aliens? What do they want? Who else is building
signal fires at night? There’s no context. No sense of a larger world. That
being said, a hugely successful debut for John Kraszinski, who made a lot of
money for somebody, and now he’ll get to do what he wants.
