is light on gore and foul language and heavy on the fights. Character development has apparently gone right out the window, but in this case, it only adds to the strength of the movie. Let’s face it, in flicks like these, characters are developed only so that audiences wind up eagerly anticipating seeing them get cut the f*ck up and thereby silenced. Another strength of the movie is that said villains aren’t capable of speech, so again, we’re not subjected to bad joke after bad joke (take note, Mr. Kruger) and are actually left a little scared. The first hatching sequence in which the pod aliens leap out onto their victims and the flashback to the original hunting ritual are visually stunning and will definitely leave the audience happy. Some might think the movie is too short, but better to leave the audience wanting more, that way, when the sequel pops up, which it will, we won’t be subjected to a rehash. My verdict… eh, why the hell not? Were you planning on checking out that lame ass movie about the stoners trying to find a White Castle? I didn’t think so.
Movie Grade: B-
The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried in Antarctica sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races engaged in the ultimate battle. No matter who wins, we lose. |
