rotten:
A rare and regrettably uneven combination of ideas and action.

A bizarre and often ridiculous attempt to merge documentary, suspense and comedy.

rotten:
Some of the cloak-and-dagger stuff that follows is so awkwardly staged that it's difficult to know whether the simplicity was designed for youngsters or as parody.

rotten:
Tries so hard not to be a conventional science-fiction thriller that it fails, alas, to be anything.
