Cassie is a paramedic, daughter of a scientist mother who was murdered by the mysterious Ezekiel while researching spiders in the Amazon: an Amazonian tribe of spider-type natives delivered Cassie. She finds herself having flashes of the future, leading to her becoming involved with three teenaged girls.
This film is getting some highly negative feedback, and I was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised: it's not bad. It's not great, either - it is somewhat muddled in terms of exposition: given that this is essentially a superhero origin story, it would have been helpful to have ended up with a coherent explanation of who had what powers and how, but no.
But at its heart, we have a character who is emotionally disconnected, and who begins to change even before learning the reason why. Cassie is likeable, as are two of the three teens, and even the third one has made progress by the end.
I admit that I'm easily pleased, but I think this film, like Marvels, is actually quite a lot better than the impression you will probably have got.
