The ratings for this movie are very misleading and since all the reviews that really talk about what it's like have spoilers in them (which meant I didn't read them before I went and saw the film) I am going to try writing one with enough warnings in it but without spoilers (even if I am banished forever from IMDb in the attempt!). To start with, if you are planning to watch this movie, DON'T! Or go ahead if you are the sort of person who can completely blank out all logic while watching a movie and concentrate on the packaging cos not only is there no story, there is also no dialog (expect stuff in the "see Scott run, see Scott's dog, see Scott's dog run, run dog run" class)and the writers apparently don't speak much English (they use words that don't mean anything in the context and it is like listening to someone read a translation from an online-translator). The initial visuals are lovely, then a green chap appears (who is still very lovely) and then it all goes downhill from there! It's really completely downhill for the rest of the movie! They've taken a bunch of nice actors and arranged the storyboard so cunningly that you start disliking the entire lot (for the sheer unbelievable stupidity of the characters) within the first five minutes of their appearing on screen. One actually wants them to die and as quickly as possible. Waiting for bad things to happen to them is the only suspense in this film and it fails at even doing that well. The main horror is the screenplay and the main thrills it offers is when one hopes one will have one character less to listen to! Oh and there is absolutely no science in this fiction. Not even some common sense! Easily the worst film of the year!
