Stylish but Ruined by the Money Men and a Weak Script

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2014)

Style over Substance is the Word here as the Movie Looks Stunning, Sleek Chic, and the Gore is Gorgeously Grotesque. Where the Film Fails is in the Clarity of the Story and Anytime Anyone Speaks.
The Characters are Clichéd to Say the Least and the Silly Bickering as these Military Style Combatants are Reduced to Whimpering Nerds is Almost Unwatchable. This is a Betrayal of Character for No Earthly Reason.
Visually Everything is Impressive and Stylish. All Else is a Dismal and Disappointing Failure, so if You Add it All Up it Amounts to Average or Slightly Above. The History of the Thing is that Director Anderson Delivered a Long Ultra-Violent Film that was so Gory and Unsettling that it Received the Dreaded NC-17 Rating and the Studio went Supernova.
Too Bad that Version is Lost in Space because it would Most Likely have Raised this to Cult Status and been a Horror Hoot that Everyone could Enjoy. Especially the Fangoria Types and the Goremiesters. That is what the Movie was Meant to be Anyway and is Another Example of a Wimp-Out from the Money Men.
