An Action Movie With Monsters

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2019)

15 August 2004. This pedestrian monster movie tries hard to provide some substance and depth to its characters but it's only tokenism. People die. The predators and aliens go at it. Nothing much is spectacular that hasn't been seen before. Mostly by the numbers here. It wasn't boring or dumb like Alien 3, but it really doesn't add anything to the franchise or should I say franchises. The script was consistent, but "Cube" movie-like in its intensity. No suspense. No scary scenes. This really is more of an action movie with monsters filling in for humans. I couldn't really get to liking any of the characters, mostly mushy stereotypes, even the aliens. Five out of ten stars.
