The visual effects in this movie were pretty impressive, considering today’s standards. It was pretty gory at times. Beware. But that’s about one of the very few things that were good about this movie. The very slow pace was boring, I find myself doing other things, while not missing anything about the story. Then, most of the actions of the characters made no sense, scientifically speaking. Too many illogical behaviors. Too many stupid things said by some of the characters, that went against the actions they were doing. Even the mental state of each member in the group was questionable. They were undisciplined, which was annoying. Especially with the doctor selfishness. A leader does not leave his/her crew behind. I had to fast-forward to the last 20mins, because the storyline was going nowhere. And by the end of the movie, I was annoyed. This movie had so much potential, but it was bugged down unnecessary long scenes, an incoherent script, and a lazy finality, that doesn’t satisfy. More times should’ve been spent on the “alien or aliens”, and their motivation. Instead, it just ends. But what happens next with the “couple”? We don’t know. I hate it when stops like that. So for me, this was nothing more than a one-time watch. Beautiful to look at at least. 2/5 stars.
