There is enough back story to have made this into a cool quasi MIB supernatural series.

Instead what we got was a movie with a perverted little Yoda style sensi that was enjoyable enough to watch.

The problem was it all came and went too fast and it felt rushed and unfortunately in a way that leaves you wanting to explore that odd little universe more.
