2.0

The hook is good. The rest of it? Not so good. 

Actually very very bad. 

Boring. Repetitive. Lame. 

Nothing really happens. You spend a lot of time in Beth's head listening to her doubting herself then not doubting herself then doubting herself again. The threat doesn't feel real. I didn't care about any of the characters enough for it to feel like it mattered. 

Skip it.
