It's not exactly a 'Netflix-Original'. Started out as a joint production between Universal and Legendary Films with a budget of 70-million. After completion, Universal wasn't happy with it, Legendary didn't like their feedback and they had a falling out -- the planned 2016 summer theatrical release was canceled. Chinese-owned Legendary Films shopped around, Netflix picked it up as an already finished movie and branded it a 'Netflix-Original'. Not awful. Competent, experienced cast; OK story and decent effects contribute to a production that had some budget to work with. A few plot-holes here and there, like beings that can fly over things, yet laying iron shavings on the ground provides a barrier of protection because they can't step in it. Contrived ending, and, so what if they kinda-sorta borrowed a central plot mechanism from the 1995 anime movie "Ghost in the Shell" https://trakt.tv/movies/ghost-in-the-shell-1995 -- it's an enjoyable watch... :-)

It´s Sci-Fi, it´s action - nothing more, nothing less. Yet very entertaining if you like that stuff. Effects are really good, the whole look of the movie is on the spot. The story is interesting, I don´t think this has been done before. Not a mega cast but faces you remember from lots of TV/movie who deliver a good performance. I´d say this doesn´t have to hide. And as far as plot holes or logical issues are concerned - has anyone counted the ones in the Marvel movies ;-) ?

A Netflix Original movie that is genuinely original. It doesn't make a lot of sense but the special effects and committed playing of its cast paper over the gaps in the story. A step in the right direction for Netflix without an Adam Sandler or Kevin James in sight.

Science fiction without science. Obviously the guy who wrote this picked some cool words like Bose-Einstein condensate and, not having a clue what it really meant, invented a story. Could have been ok anyway if the movie hadn't been boring most of the time. The "ghosts" looked quite cool though.

A scientist who works for DARPA, teams with a group of tougher-than-nails (of course) soldiers to battle an army of supernatural entities in some war torn country overseas. The scientist is apparently the long lost son of MacGyver because he manages to build "plasma" weapons from a supply drop into a refugee's camp. He also turns a one-of-a-kind night vision camera into a night vision spotlight with an inexhaustible power source. I'm not an Electrical or Mechanical Engineer but the things that this do-it-yourself-er comes up with are impossible. He single-handedly changes the future of military weaponry in an afternoon. And the worst part is that it's all done with the utmost of seriousness. Not a wink or a smirk anywhere that would acknowledge how ridiculous the entire affair is. I thought that the premise of an army of ghosts was dumb but the way that they came to be in the war-torn crap hole of a country was intriguing. And although I didn't care what happened to the characters, I thought it ended properly. In other words, the scientist and the lady CIA agent didn't forget their disagreements, get hitched and adopt Newt...er, I mean, the little girl that they find in the city.
