Just saw this at Tribeca. Interesting, entertaining, often funny. Sigourney Weaver is exception. A Solid 7 -- as good as most independent films and insightful.
I would say that the only draw back are the visuals -- kind of bland photography. which should not detract at all from the films commercial appeal.
Jake Kasden is someone to watch. I also really enjoyed the Q& A after the screening. David D. is very funny. And seems to be expanding beyond the X-FIles persona that must be hard to elude.
Sigourney Weaver is so underrated as an actress -- she can do anything. seems to get better with age.
Hats of to the production team
