I could see what they were going for. A lot of the pieces of good or functional ideas and hooks are there: the central mystery of why there are all these ghostly creatures everywhere, trying to solve this mystery before it’s too late, the uneasy alliance between the scientists and the military where both are trying to solve the problem both have different ideas about how to do it but both need resources from the other, trying to convenience other of things you know are true but are difficult to understand or sound crazy, trying to have functional and healthy relationships in a crumbling world, etc. There is a lot there that could work and a lot of media has similar themes and plot points, it’s just the film doesn’t do a very good job of it. It’s not even really worth a watch to see “it’s so bad it’s good” or “let’s see and laugh at Square’s hundred million dollar mistake” because as I said it’s just kind of mediocre and boring.
