This is not an action movie. There is a lot of dialogue and not much that is fast-paced. If you want a heart-pounding thriller, you will be disappointed.
The movie also presents the main idea fairly early on and then spends the rest of the movie developing the plot and exploring some of the nuances of that main idea. Don't expect too many sharp twists and turns.
For a low-budget movie, I was actually quite impressed at how easily I was able to lose myself in the story (as opposed to thinking "This looks like the set was cobbled together with parts from the junkyard," which some movies seem to be). I liked how part of that accessibility was how natural all the actors & actresses were; instead of an unnaturally-Hollywood-gorgeous-pencil-thin cast they were all just clean, normal yet attractive people. I was also impressed that despite the low budget they were all fairly convincing actors.
Some other reviewers thought this was a Christian movie, but it is actually just a "faith vs science" thing, or even better "determinism vs free will."
All in all I definitely think this deserves a rating much higher than the 3/10 that it shows at the moment. I've seen some very bad movies in my time and this one is much closer to the excellent ones than the terrible ones.
