Very atmospheric, but dull

Rating: 5/10 (19 May 2014)

There are plenty of very atmospheric scenes in this movie doing a hard job to create a picture of modern-day apocalypse. The accident at nuclear power plant? Awesome. Jump through the clouds? Breathtaking. Rail road encounter? Intriguing enough to forget that you actually want all these dull characters to die, because the script is so bad that it makes you laugh every time someone says another stupid line with shocked or bitter face. There's absolutely no reason - and no excuse - for adding so many flat human characters: most of them don't even influence the story, making their presence nothing else but irritating. Fortunately the monsters are compelling enough to save the title; they seem not to care about other creatures in the move - and so should we.
