Nice looking but no real substance.

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2008)

This movie has nice cinematography and special effects. In that respect it's original and I commend them trying to do something different. But that's the best compliment I can come up with.
Unfortunately the story leaves plenty to be desired. It had so much potential early on but ultimately left me and many others cold. So much so that I'm motivated to write a review for the first time ever to warn people.
The Lost people being involved with this was a big draw card, as Lost is such a great show, but this really isn't anything like that. Whereas Lost is a great tapestry, this is like a couple of threads that dropped out of one.
I hadn't heard of this movie until about 2 days before I got a free pass. I had seen the ad in that time, which was cool, but the suspense wasn't really paid off that well.
In other words, if you really like cool special effects or the idea of monster movies, you'll like it. Otherwise, you probably won't.
Oh, this has been said already, but if you get motion sickness easily, avoid this one, or you might not last till the end.
