First off - it's a movie now, but only because they canceled the series they intended to make. So originally this was only supposed to be the pilot, but they canceled the rest because of all the backlash and hate it received.
But have you noticed that while the ratings of this "movie" are generally really bad, the reviews are generally really good. So why that discrepancy? Maybe because it's easier to rate a movie you haven't seen than it is to actually review a movie you haven't seen...
And just like you should't judge someone by their skin color, you shouldn't judge a movie by it's trailer. Because I have to admit the trailer is absolutely horrible in that it can indeed be interpreted as racist incitement. So I am glad that I watched the movie first and then the trailer. Otherwise I would be like so many others and would have just been offended and left a negative rating without actually seeing the movie.
But if you watch the movie without knowing the horrible trailer or knowing about the controversy surrounding this movie - if you just judge the movie by itself, it's really not a bad movie and it really is very clearly against any kind of racism and isn't racist at all (unlike the messed up trailer).
Also, I like the concept, though it's not a new concept at all - basically it's just a remake of a remake of a Twilight Zone episode and Outer Limits too did the exact same kind of episode and when those episodes came out there was no controversy, as everyone understood that they were against racism - though that was many years ago - before we had certain political activists that like nothing better than to cancel all TV shows that disagree with their political agenda. Which makes it even more ironic that this movie was actually made by those very same cancel happy advocates... so they ended up canceling themselves...
