This film does, what Sci-Fi does best.

It provides a hook to tell an emotional story using discovery and adventure as a means of focusing on the "human condition." The story unfolds without giving the viewer a lot of information up front. We are introduced to each character via what they are experiencing. And though we may want to dislike "Grady" (Clayne Crawford), his past is revealed in the course of the story, and we can have a bit of sympathy for him. It's also important to note that Grady & "Kai" (Colt Crawford) share the same basic experience of loss, and how to handle that loss.

In fact, the movie is about loss and the emotional toll that loss exacts.

Though using a suppressed discovery by Nicolas Tesla is a common trope, it worked well in this film, mainly because in the real world, rumors continue to swirl around the Tesla name.

The cinematography is very good, the story solid, and the acting realistic.

It is well worth the watch.
