This could be better...

Hi there!
I watch the movie last night, and I felt uncomfortable with some comments. This movie is overrated. I agree that your subject is well chosen, but the development of his production team leaves much to be desired.
Before I begin, let me make clear that I love certain productions of joss whedon also, it's very original, and in this movie as well. My problematic is the ultimate succession of facts before the apocalyptic end. Earlier, the allusion of typical American teenager, led most to think: "cliché". And in fact is a cliché, not only this part, but like many others throughout the movie, and successive allusions to other films, creating what I consider a great parody. Until then OK. That old man appear to then, the messenger, talking a lot of weird stuff, and then an eagle colliding in a field of force, which does not match the level of technology of this alternate world, but OK too. From then on, had all the horror / comedy movie construction, with a complex symbolism and even interesting, although nothing funny, which generated a relaxed atmosphere and creating a tension between the constant alternation of seriousness and comedy.
Skipping various parts, I was well entertained with the movie and enjoying a lot, got the party marty resurfaces from the dead, and saves dana. Genial, I expected something to happen, as they put it clear that she would survive or not. But wait, how they managed to lose marty? Continuing, they enter the tomb, which is kind of a place for maintenance, has the lift, I think they get a good escape, arriving at the building, causing all the destruction.
Now comes the second change, which is the main part of the displeasure of several reviews scattered around the internet. The fact is, okay they are invisible to the monsters distributed by the environment, that is the only premise that ensures a decent ending to the film. They escape, arriving in the rituals room, and it appears that woman, that must be some of the upstairs-guys, unarmed to talk? Please!! After the werewolf appears, then the little girl buckner, not being fulfilled the established ritual, arousing the anger of the elder gods, and it all ends in a spectacle of dreadful graphics effects (is so damn easy to make, they could have improved it). But, from another premise, that the gods have always existed, how they were regulated before? How were neutralized? I don't see this as a burden for me, but as a problem for the author.
So, concluding this huge text, the film is well developed to the point where they begin to arise false assertions to ensure the end, without worrying about the "vision" of the viewer, breaking the mix of events. It had everything to be great, but eventually became a movie with obvious conclusions, without parts that cause fear, or bring smiles, with one thing or another original in its content. There are many things I would like to mention in this text, but as is already too big, it ends here. 5/10
