No doubt about the quality performances by the couple **Vikander** and **McAvoy** which are great together. The narrative, to be honest, could be better scructured but I can say that I liked the movie. Good and appealing actors can have also the job of saving films and they done that here. Instant love can happen and can become a love for life which can change everything about each one personal dream. 

The movie can also tell You that opposing subjects can have the same importance depending on what each one believe what is important to save the world or yourself.

James More: "I think you're following me."
Danielle Flinders: "Or you're following me in advance."

**10 minutes in you will realize this is not done well.**

Movie starts, a heap of production companies show their logo, dozens of producers and makers are listed. The intro feels like the credits are rolling and that would have been a good idea. Just those 5 minutes of sweet music and the book promotion would have done so much more for this story.

First scene, female star mumbles her text to a supporting actor, who is hard to understand also. Granted, not many people in real life speak load and clearly, like an actor, but maybe an actor should. I would be willing to suspend disbelief, I have done so for wilder stories than this one.

Next scene, french captain briefs his crew in a heavy accent, but what he says sounds like an American putting the words in his mouth. Probably what happened. At least the viewer can understand. Not that the narrative does anything for character development, story progression, sparking an interest or doing anything at all for the film.

Then we see something unusual, a wounded looking man deep in trouble somewhere in an underdeveloped country. What is he doing there? Don't worry, the next disjointed time and space jump will explain more than you want to know. Literally.

Cameras cut on the faces during dialog like following some kind of guidebook. Again, not a good idea. The European actors in this movie are not exactly models. If you have the money to shoot this, why not give us some interesting angles and show off the acting skill of the uglies you cast and not cutting every 5 seconds. This major production looked like a telenovela, what a disappointment.

I am migrating my reviews from a different site which has become simply garbage. TMDB looks awesome and I look forward to be a part of it.
