The positive reviews are accurate
Despite its pedestrian title, UFO is a very good science fiction drama which somehow manages to make mathematics suspenseful by virtue of a literate script, taught direction, and very good, sincere acting on everyone's part.
While not conceived on the grand scale of excellent higher-budget concept-driven productions such as Arrival, Annihilation, Interstellar, Ex Machina, and Predestination, UFO nonetheless joins the ranks of these films in what we can probably at this point call a genuine cycle of intelligent sci-fi, which we've been enjoying 4 the last five years or so.
