Spectral (2018)

Director: Nic Mathieu

Starring: James Badge Dale, Emily Mortimer, Bruce Greenwood

A sci-fi/thriller story centered on a special-ops team that is dispatched to fight supernatural beings.

‘Spectral’ has all the trademarks of an alien invasion movie, but this ‘Battle: Los Angeles’ meets ‘The Darkest Hour’ film is actually not an alien movie. This is a movie about a science experiment gone wrong.

I enjoyed the simplicity of the film. There’s no twists, no frills, no complicated issues. This is a simple story about soldiers in a predicament and trying to stay alive against all odds as they face an ‘invisible’ enemy. The visual effects are awesome! It is a good script with great dialogue. This spectacular fantasy action film. is fast-paced, action-packed, suspenseful and unpredictable. It also has the added bonus of very good acting from a veteran cast.

The visuals never ceased to amaze me; it is simply out of this world. This was an incredibly entertaining film. Just wow, wow, wow!
