ThiefHott Too much of everything

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

mich-leclair There is a dullness to this film that leaves one exhausted and somewhat irritated. The art direction is quite dull. The dialogue is repetitive to the point of being dull. The characters are extremely boring--one might even say dull. As a matter of fact, after viewing this, I had a tremendous urge to watch "Mr. BLANDings Builds his Dream House." Don't know why. Honestly, after hearing the actors yak for about a half hour, I found myself saying aloud, "Oh why don't you shut up!"Fans of poor choices will love this film. Others, not so much.

GL84 Arriving at a research center in the Arctic, a group of ecology students searching for a way to combat global warming instead fall under attack by a group of prehistoric parasitic insects that threaten the existence of the planet.This is a severely disappointing effort without a lot to really like about it. One of the biggest factors here with the film is the fact that there's a large amount of time spent doing nothing about the insects in here. The first half is basically devoted to the group wandering around the empty campsite where it plays off the tired gag of not being wanted there but never given a suitable answer so it all just feels like a retread for the duration of the time there. By not focusing on the team doing anything during these segments as well with the rather convoluted warnings, it just makes for a rather tough time getting invested in the first half. As well, the creatures are pretty hard to fear here as they aren't all that active as they only engage in a few encounters so it really adds even more to the glacial pacing throughout here, and when coupled with the atrocious CGI for the swarms there's not much fear derived from the creatures. They do make an attempt here with the few attack scenes coming off as actually really fun with the two big scenes being quite good. The attack in the quarantined room that spins off into the hallway encounter as the swarming creatures cover their entire body is a fantastic plus, as well as the big battle in the burning compound after the helicopter crash so in general there's a lot of rather fun attack scenes when it can be bothered to do them. The same can be said of the way it builds up everything in here as the way they look when beginning to show their diseased states is wholly impressive with the disturbed look on their bodies and their behavior throughout here. However, none of these positives accounts for the films' single biggest flaw which is the ecology angle hammering home global warming and the downfall of civilization due to that. It's forced so heavily down their throats that it loses all meaning due to the relentlessness of the message which has so little to do with the film anyway that it becomes a distraction and a true detriment to the film as a flaw, harming this more than any other flaw does.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Varboro How disappointing ! I was expecting a good movie about a very interesting subject, but the only interesting thing here is the opening credits. Cliché, caricatured characters, spoiled idea, lame acting, After the 15th fist minutes you make your own movie about the deja vu feeling. You can guess the rest of the movie and you'll sure win because it is more than predictable, just add cliché after cliché. No, I must admit there is something I couldn't predict : There is no explicit sex or nudity exposed, not even that to save this poor movie from oblivion.The base idea was good, the cast OK, the layout excellent, and everything went wrong. Why ? I don't dare to say because it is a mundane American low-end movie just to make some money out of minimal investment. Keep this for teenagers willing to spend an evening and needing an excuse to give to their parents while they are doing anything but actually WATCH the movie. And they should really do something else, like homework. and for grown adults, I see no excuse to waste time watching this when there is more interesting things to do, like wash the dish or fix a leaking pipe in the bathroom. Don't be fooled, this is not about ecology, it is a cheap would be horror movie. There are lots of better movies, and a few worse, but you are on your freewill. I just give my own opinion here. If I have sacrificed 1h30 of my own life to spare it to some people I'll be content.

pundit-1 This story if fairly entertaining. Certainly not boring and perhaps had a potential to be something even better. The acting is mediocre and the characters in this film are all forgettable. Nothing outstanding about any of them.If this film did raise one important and relevant point about ourselves it would be this. How willing would we be to sacrifice ourselves for the common good? For humanity,those we know, the environment,the earth etc. Or are we mostly too selfish to look beyond our own self-interests and our instinct for self-preservation? Or like one of the characters in this film would we be ruthless enough to sacrifice the lives of others in order to advance a cause we believe in?
