“Worldbreaker” plays like an adaptation of a novel that’s missing its first and last three chapters. Screenwriter Joshua Rollins (“Infinite Storm”) throws viewers into the middle of a study of global ruin, rebellion, and survival, creating a semi-sci-fi look at a creature invasion story. However, big moments with CGI threats are limited to only a few sequences, with the rest of the material devoted to parental protection as the tale follows a father desperately trying to prepare his teen daughter for fight for her life. Director Brad Anderson offers some interesting visual ideas with the film, but he’s not particularly concerned with keeping viewers involved in the unfolding drama, with so much of “Worldbreaker” playing unfinished, or perhaps severely edited down. There’s no real introduction and very little resolution, keeping the offering at a distance, despite heavy emotions in play at times. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
