CriticsCritics: 24

A team of scientists and specialists travels to a deep-sea site to investigate an ancient spacecraft of mysterious origin. Inside, they discover a perfect sphere, and the isolated mission soon becomes a tense psychological struggle as strange events challenge their understanding of reality.

My take

You may enjoy this if you prefer cerebral, atmospheric science fiction and psychological mystery over nonstop action; Not for you if you need clear answers, steady pacing, or spectacle like The Arrival.
