Repulsive movie

Rating: 2/10 (24 May 2013)

You'll hate yourself for watching this and hate what the producers/directors of this film did to decent actors. I like sci-fi films and was attracted to the story outline. Unfortunately it soon became evident no-one had any faith in the power of storytelling and characterization to engage the audience. Instead they had to exaggerate every interaction between members of the crew to be as abrasive as possible, and introduce every cheesy and over-the-top horror film trick they could think of to progress the film. I nearly wrote "to maintain interest" but in fact it's a big turn off and you soon regard the whole affair with total contempt. Here's an example of the wit and character development in the film: black male crew member to female crew member while offering a cup of coffee "How'd you like something hot and black inside you?" (leers). Just when you think it can't get any worse with exaggerated gory special effects, it does. I see some people like this film, honestly I shudder to imagine the sort of person that would. It's quite repulsive, and the only reason I'm giving it a 2 is that I did watch it to the end to see who they could extricate from the general mayhem. I think I caught a line of dialogue "In this situation, some self-control is an advantage". Are they kidding! I hope the people responsible for this film have found employment in some other industry.
