Most of this movie is trying to predict how it ends. I got some details right, but not all. "Was it interesting?" While they tried to portray conspiracy theorists rather well, they didn't really show a realistic investigation to me. 2 out of 3. "Was it entertaining?" There's not much character development, and the story just seems to string several movie tropes together. I was hoping for something a little more complex and exciting. 1 out of 3. "Was it memorable?" The ending is the key to this type of movie, and this ending was slightly predictable but mostly a letdown. It was made well and pretty well acted. 1.5 out of 3. Starting with 1, 1 + 2 + 1 + 1.5 = 5.5 With a half, I'm going to round down to 5 for the bit of disappointment of the overall ride. Maybe it's just not cup of tea.
