The film drops significantly during the middle journey sequences before recovering strongly with the emotional finale.
The film starts strong with spectacular invasion visuals and character setup, sags considerably during repetitive middle sequences that reviewers found formulaic, but recovers with a powerfully emotional ending anchored by Nyong'o's performance. Critics consistently praised the lead performances and emotional depth while criticizing the thin plot and predictable monster encounters.
