What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 117 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.

Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and sci-fi have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 8.4/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Since it arrived and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
