Review: valiant effort to understand everyone 's point of view 
Sentiment: positive

Review: is just too clichéd and too often strains credulity 
Sentiment: negative

Review: is rote spookiness , with nary an original idea ( or role , or edit , or score , or anything , really ) in sight 
Sentiment: negative

Review: come closer than anyone could desire to the cheap , graceless , hackneyed sci-fi serials of the '30s and '40s 
Sentiment: negative


Review: plays like a badly edited , 91-minute trailer ( and ) the director ca n't seem to get a coherent rhythm going
