Unexplainable events unfold after a train wreck happened at a small town.

Rating: 2/10 (17 June 2011)

I gave the movie 2 stars to give credit to the OK acting of the characters. Move past that and you get nothing but hype and fluff. You would think that any movie with the name Steven Spielberg attached to it would at the very least return your invested time and money without the profit of having a mind-blowing good time. This one will make you feel like you've been scammed.
The trailer looked promising even without it showing a shadow of the creature. That draws you in. But like a cat, your curiosity will kill you. The film is shallow and tries really hard to pump your heart with the hopes of making you jump off your ergonomic cinema chairs. It drags on about the character's side story which by mid-film will make you think "so what?" Nothing of any importance could be attached to the main plot of the movie to the history of the people involved whatsoever.
The momentum of the story flies and dips so often that it ruins the thrill if there is any. After the train wreck I thought "ok here we go..." but then it mellows down almost to a coma up to the last 20 minutes or so where things finally starts to build up only to a very disappointing and rather stupid conclusion.
If you feel like you "need" to watch this just because it has Spielberg's name tagged on it, you're better off brushing this aside for a more meaningful experience, like say, impulse buying a gum at 711.
