So much potential

Rating: 5/10 (29 July 2013)

So much of this movie is thrilling and the acting is great. However, the ending, much like Abrams other works (ex: Lost), leaves so much to be desired. My main gripe is a big one: One of the main plot points is abandoned halfway through the film. This point is the only connection to the actual title of the film. And yet, there is no resolution for it. Also, the mystery he creates as to what the creature looks like is quite unnecessary, and annoying. The drama at the end is classic Hollywood, and very unrealistic. The movie had so much potential to be a great film, and then it just plummeted to the finale so miserably. If you want to get caught up in a thrill ride, only to be supremely disappointed, watch this.
