At First Light (I) (2018)
7/10
Solid movie. More a drama than sci-fi.

I really enjoyed this movie overall. Initially I was expecting something more along the lines of 'Chronicle' but it ended up more like 'Close Encounters of the 4th Kind'. The first 3/4 is slow. More of a character study until the end. The acting is good. Pellerin does a good job leading and the supporting cast is solid. You'd expect Scott to be the focus considering she is given the powers but he is the primary protagonist I feel the end was satisfying. More so than most movies like this. It wasn't epic like '2001' but felt just open ended enough to spur the imagination in a hopeful way. Worth a watch.
