This was surprisingly well done. It starts off a bit slow while introducing the characters, which is a style that gets you involved. Then it slowly builds tensions. The threat is alien and powerful but is a fresh idea that is credible. It is not a story like a video arcade shoot-em-up, and that is a good thing. I'll watch HALO when I want that. The mystery is only slowly revealed and it keeps you wanting to know more, so as it is revealed you learn just how non-human, non-alien, and non-evil this possible existential threat could be. Or else how it could be a new best friend that can potentially cure all injury and disease and fill in the entire living history of the planet all the way to the beginning. IF. If the narrow minded knee-jerk fear-ruled arrogant high positioned "power elite" don't kill it first or else force it to kill us all.
Nothing in our way except human weakness, narrow minds, power struggles, and the slow learning curve versus a looming limits on time and patience.
I liked that they left so much unsaid and so many plot possibilities open.
Spoiler ahead: On the rescue copter new questions emerge. Like, just where they were flying to (if 'not home'), how much remains of the human landscape after the new slip(s) and tsunami(s), and did anyone survive on the rig or the families on-shore.
Plenty of openings for a sequel.
It does not look like it should be especially pricey to make and if I am any example there is an audience.
How about it? Any plans yet for a "The Rig 2"?
