I normally don't watch any superhero movies, none of the Marvel stuff, X-men and whatnot. I decided to watch this one because of Ellen Page and Robert Sheehan, who I have loved in their previous work. They didn't disappoint, neither did the other actors, the plot and everything else.

This is not just another superhero movie where they keep running around from one action packed evil vs good fight scene to another. It is more like a family dramedy with great character development and backstory. Everything is not as black and white as with other movies around similar topics.

Also, while the events were clearly happening in 2019, there was barely no high tech digital technology, no smartphones, flat screen TVs etc... if you don't count the Mom that is :D The cars were old, loved the retro doughnut shop and all else. It felt like a different universe, so you can rest assured, our actual planet will survive those 8 days and hopefully even until season 2 is released :P
