how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 51 comments (48 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 19 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 19 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“Dark Skies is about the fragility of family, a muted meditation on how precious it is...it does affirm that genre filmmakers who work with their eyes, their hearts and their brains still walk among us.”
Stephanie Zacharek, Film.com · 83
“While there are some scares along the way, Stewart foolishly gives away the whole kit and caboodle plot-wise with an opening quotation from Arthur C. Clarke.”
Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly · 67
“More chilling than terrifying, this movie’s predatory aliens are creatures that mostly mess with people’s heads prior to abducting them.”
Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle · 67
“Mostly, though, it all ends up feeling like a lost, minor episode of “The X-Files:” A little scary, a little silly and catnip for those who want to believe.”
Sara Stewart, New York Post · 63
“Dark Skies certainly parades textbook genre trappings...But those elements are employed with consummate dexterity.”
Andy Webster, The New York Times · 60

“**A dark force from out of the world!** It was one of the long due film, despite releasing just 4 years ago. Those who saw it said me not to miss it. But they also warned me it was a common horror theme with a slight change in the storyline. Since horror is the least average rated genre in my collection, I was not expecting it to be a masterpiece. That could be another reason why I liked it. Yeah, the same old blueprint horror flick, even though it was not as bad as what some people are sayin”

“Great watch, could watch again, and can recommend. Keri Russell does quality crazy lady, and this movie is basically what "Paranormal Activity" should have been combined with a good version of a Slenderman movie. There's a very satisfying conspiracy meat to the plot: the escalating defenses combined with a literally conspiracy theory "nut". Part of the fun of this is that it is all presented in a very real, believable manner. The atmosphere the movie creates is reason enough to watch i”
