Rather Disappointing

Ok.

Let me be honest.

It has been a year since I've been to the theaters. Quite honestly it has been both that movies don't last that long in the theaters and I've been busy, and the fact that nothing looks good anymore.

I mean really. They just don't make movies like they used too. I was seeing TRANSPORTER 1 (film from 2002) back in the fall, and I even said to myself.....there's something different about this film. It's just the feel. And I said to myself....movies these days are so different.

This movie though looked remotely good and interesting, so I decided to go see it.

But it was not that good. It didn't suck....but I don't think I'll be buying it.

This movie reminded me a little of THE MIST (2007), only this film was better....but not a whole lot....but definitely better.

I did have to leave to use the restroom at one point, so I don't know if I missed a crucial scene or not.

There aren't many people in this film...only seven...I think.

The film does pretty much get to the point right at the start and is only 95 minutes instead of these whiny 2-2.5 hour films these days. Although the end credits music was whiny.

Gosh music these days.....it's only going to get worse.

So....the real problem is that .... they never explain what happened ... (other than they drilled too deep under the ocean and these monsters were released) the survivors are denied interviews..... and only 2 survive.

Like why couldn't two fit in a pod at the end? Maybe there wasn't enough room. I don't know. But the one that was broken .... I wish she could have fixed it.

Maybe there is a DVD coming with an alternate ending.

Kristen Stewart is the main character and she dies....but yet still narrates at the end.....so maybe there's a sequel coming....maybe she survives....and maybe again she survives an alternate ending.

By the way, Kristen Stewart has blond hair in this film...instead of her brown hair on the imdb picture here....but then again she did have blond hair in PANIC ROOM.

She looks odd here....almost reminds me of a cross between that evil dude from RED 2 and Ethan Hunt from MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 1. I'm not saying she looks bad...actually rather funny....from the description I mentioned.

Also the black guy dies first....I'm not black btw....but I guess I got really distraught over it becomes he reminds me of a friend. But I guess if they killed the fat guy first...people will whine, always the fat guy gets it first.

I'm not saying this movie is awful.....it does have it's cool moments and it was fun.....but I was expecting a better ending.

Also this is not a film for kids at all under 13. Ahm....the monsters are really ultra scary. Please don't take your kids to see this.
