I saw this on a Sunday afternoon with a group of mates. To be honest, I was expecting a piece of crap movie. You know the type, full of trite dialogue, bad acting and copious amounts of special effects. In a way, I was right; this was an accurate way of viewing the movie: The acting was quite bad, despite the fact that some B-grade actors of moderate note starred, the dialogue was riddled with awful one-liners and the special effects were incredibly gory. However, in viewing the movie in that way, I have sort of missed the point. This movie was, despite its conventional flaws, was enjoyable. The special effects were very good, and in a way, this film was exactly what I wanted to see on Sunday afternoon; a light, enjoyable movie. If you are a film school student who views every film as a sort of analytical algorithm, then I doubt you will enjoy this film. However, if you want to see a movie with intense action and some neat special effects, you should not think twice about buying a ticket for this film.
