Pretty flowers, angry critters and....

....painfully slow pacing, oh my. at least for me. Another reviewer said everybody talks so slowly in this movie, for more drama maybe, and I enthusiastically agree! Glad I downed a Red Bull near the beginning.
With the estrogenic-laden cast I couldn't help but wonder if adding a little testosterone to the core crew may have added a little more tension to the story. Sorry ladies, At some points i almost wanted to genre this movie as a sci-fi chick flick.
Not a terrible movie and the premise is still interesting and would make a great movie some day. This one misses the mark when there could have been so much more. The last half hour or so goes where I didn't think this concept would go, and I'm still not sure whether I liked the wrap up or not. I came out of it with some annoying confusion.
CGI is decent and while the flora and fauna may not be in a similar ballpark as Avatar, it was well done without being in your face. The backing track and sound effects fit the movie. Would have been much more impressive in the theatre vs our 40 inch screen.
