Could have been good.....but wasn't

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2008)

I really cannot see how this film justifies so many high scoring votes. I watched this yesterday with a few friends and when the film finished we were all under the same opinion, that this film was simply poor, and in so many areas too.
The CGI was not up to todays standards, the creatures moved and looked completely out of place and the acting in places was simply dreadful. The atmosphere created for us was not one of scared desperation and defeat, but one of annoying, dense individuals, which led us to simply not really care what happened to them.
The ending when it came, was I suppose meant to leave the watcher with a sense of shock and disbelief, it certainly did that for us but not in the way I think it was intended to.
I did not get sucked into this movie, which I tend to do with most, I felt as though I was constantly on the outside of this film, watching with an ever increasing critical eye.
