LOGIC? what logic?, Mediocre Movie

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2002)

I think this movie is a good pass-time movie but not something that I would pay 8 bucks to watch in a theater.
The cast give normal performances, and the characters are not involving. One feels no sympathy for the characters at any moment in the movie, because the characters are not developed to their fullest!
The movie is very predictable, and the scary aspect of the movie does not make you jump so you may as well consider this movie a thriller and not a true horror/gore/hack and slash type movie.
READ NO FURTHER - SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
Do not read further as there are spoilers ahead. Now what I dont get about this movie is why the most obvious is ignored.. A sort of solar eclipse thing happens, and boom, all darkness, no sun whatsoever... everyone is wearing tank tops, but NO ONE IS FREEZING. The movie gives absolutely NO explanation as to why this is so. In the normal desert of Earth, when the sun sets the temperatures can drop to sub zero, yet there it seems to remain all the same. I can understand that they were excited so sweaty, generating a lot of heat etc but it makes NO sense why they felt no cold whatsoever. That was the major drawback for me and why I did not feel the movie was up to par compared to other more logical and believable movies of this genre, however far fetched.
