My expectations were pretty high for this one but ultimately this turned out to be nothing more than a well-crafted but entirely conventional mystery period piece with flashes of brilliance on a visual level. What it lacks is any depth to the story and its, admittedly, pretty fun and quirky characters. In the end though, this is just another retread of the same old tired UFO tropes we've been force-fed over and over again in the past. Then again, the film makes it very clear that we're watching nothing more than a tribute to old Twilight Zone-style serials. It works well for what it is. Just don't expect much more than that.
