It's still horrendously plot-led, which forces the characters to do inexplicably stupid or unlikely things to keep the story on track. Like tearing round the city in the hope of identifying which building might be reflecting the moon*, or a steeplejack making a schoolboy howler of an error, allowing his rope to chafe against a sharp edge.

* serious visual FX gaffe, by the way, the first quarter moon setting at 8.30pm in the evening is lit on the right side, not the left - something the autistic scientist would have known all too well. In fact that particular piece of evidence, as presented, ought to have made him think the predicted events might be a couple of weeks away, rather than a couple of hours.

Still, it's just a piece of daft sci fi, so who cares ....
