But I like Sanaa Lathan

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2004)

This is a really tough film for me to review. In terms of the director following any history of these two sci-fi greats, he really butchered the series. Unfortunately this seems to be quite common lately (note how television's Star Trek has gotten so badly bastardized you don't even know what you're looking at). So if he wanted to make a monster versus monster movie, why not get creative and make up his own beasts and leave perfection alone. I guess asking for some real creativity in Hollywood now-a-days is asking for a little too much. I didn't know what creatures these were except they looked like the Alien beings and the Predator beings.
The opening scene with Sanna Lathan answering a cell phone while climbing the side of an ice-n-snow mountain - where is everyone's brain at...in the toilet??? Are you dumb-bells on crack??? Wouldn't an avalanche happen with a phone going off???
But I really do like Sanna Lathan. She can be a serious babe and believe it or not, the girl can act. She probably felt the same way about the script which is why no one has appeared on any talk shows pushing this movie.
I have to admit that some scenes really got me to jump and the tight confines of the pyramid got a little too hairy for me (I'm claustrophobic by nature). So as a basic monster movie it was probably better than Godzilla Vs. Atomic Man. But not by much. You couldn't see half of the fight scenes and the ending where forces are joined seemed really weird.
I take it back. This movie was not that hard to review. The basic look was okay, a scene with the northern lights could have been exploited better (I was making up dialog watching this flick), I liked Ms. Lathan, but the rest blew big time. God I feel like I owe Sanna an apology. And I didn't even have anything to do with this retarded film.
