Good until the end... then it goes down with ship

Rating: 5/10 (28 April 2008)

I really liked the concept of the movie, and the monsters really kept me into this, but I could not stand for how the characters reacted to the situation. It seemed like every time something happened, they would all go into shut down mode and just complain that they were going to die. Even when someone finally motivates them to do something, that movement is crushed quickly and again the people are depressing and lifeless. On a good note, the characters in the movie acted more like real people would (i.e. barricades and torches), but if people acted like they do in the majority of the movie... I would have shoved them out for the creatures to get. I think I could have dealt with some of the bad story line if only the ending had been different. You kind of get the feeling like "Ah-ha they are finally doing something" to thinking "WTF!!! Why would they do that!?" most of the way through the movie.
I can't say I am not glad that I watched this movie, I just wish I hadn't wasted money to rent it. Watch it for free, but don't bother renting and especially buying it unless you want an irritating movie to sit on your shelf.
