A thin veneer of science over a seemingly intelligent plot that has no actual science and no real intelligence.
The film tries to confuse the viewer with pseudo-science and special effects that hide the complete absence of plot.
It is in reality a dumb action movie with no character development and annoying backward scenes to try and distract from the lack of substance.
The acting is good, the cast deliver as much as they can given the lack of real dialogue. The token "my son is in danger" moments are annoying given the rest of the plot.
If you want to watch something smart this isn't it, if you want to watch something fun this isn't it either you would be better watching an old Arnie movie, at least it will not be pretentious.

The idea of civilizations before the end of the ice age is interesting, if they were near the sea they could be hidden by rising sea levels. This is mentioned but without substance, instead it is a tour of other "mysteries" that might tangentially offer credence to that idea.
The first episode suggests many things that seem unscientific and a quick search afterwards backed that up, nothing of substances there.
The second episode is just dull and silly, I gave up after that.
The host wants to push a narrative that he is an outsider fighting to reveal the truth, but offers nothing of value, no facts, no science just vague notions.

The only difference between this and any other formulaic action movie is having a female lead, other than that it is paint by numbers, no originality at all.
The 1 day time frame makes you think of Crank but this had no humour at all, it takes itself as seriously as a real movie while having the plot of a b-movie.
The acting is ok, better than most cheap action movies with the exception of the fight scenes, these are odd, the lead seems uncomfortable and sometimes moves so slowly or awkwardly that it looks like everyone else is waiting for her and the whole scene feels amateurish.
It's barely watchable as long as you fast forward through some of the failed attempts to add depth.
