It's like Terrence Malick were making a superhero origin story. The lack of explanation wouldn't be a problem if the ending didn't feel somehow predictable and lethargic, but the cast help make this watchable.

It looks beautiful and there is an interesting denouement, but it disappoints; the build-up just isn't developed enough for it to matter.

Gorgeous and naturalistic shots by cinematographer by Autumn Durald speak volumes, and the atonal, foreboding score by Nathan Halpern creates a sense of dread, though they are ultimately squandered in an underdeveloped story.

With two excellent lead performances, a compelling premise, and a fine sense to tease a mystery, One & Two should prove quite pleasing to sci-fi fans.
