A Big Disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (12 April 2008)

Given that this was produced by JJ Abrams, I was expected a high level of production values. However, I found it like a 1950s B-movie. A very poor script, which seemed to be "Oh My God, Oh My God" ad nauseum, or, at least ad boredom. The acting abilities of the cast were amateurish, at best, and the cast will probably be like a group of characters in an X-Files episode. They'll never be seen again, apart from the pretty younger females who'll probably be seen in a few teen TV programs, or straight-to-video movies, probably with less and less clothes as the films get poorer, with lower and lower budgets. Every expense seemed to have been spared on the special effects to stop viewers getting a good view of the monster. This is a bad thing in a monster movie, JJ. Why 2 stars? I thought that Marlena was very attractive. Otherwise it would have been 1.
