we’re in outer space
getting chased by predators
CSI vacay
this was really kind of great. some people i went with thought it was too cheesy, but i thought it was really fun. sure, a lot of the dialogue was kind of terrible, but then a predator would rip someone’s spine out and yell and it would get awesome again.
I do agree that Topher Grace was really annoying in this movie. I was mixed with it. There were some awesome parts to it like the Mortal Kombat style spine ripping kill, but it dragged along. The script was the biggest problem.
I thought it was pretty damn good. A return to form for the franchise and maybe the start of a new series of films. Brody was good in the lead. Yeah, some fo the dialogue was a bit plain, but the film makes up for it with spirited action, well-constructed shock tactics, great production design, and a score ripped straight from the original.
I’m not a big fan of a lot of modern Hollywood action films, but I thought this was great.
I was also drinking whiskey while I watched it, so that helped.
