“It is just wrong. CGI is cheap, monsters/blood/explosions donu0026#39;t connect to the set, to the lights; editing is awkward, sometimes a kill is full frontal, gory details and all, and sometimes it happens off-screen; story is as thin as you probably guessed, lines vary from utilitarian to abscond, with maybe an attempt at making it into genre sub-culture but unconvincingly so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd light/camera work is terrible: if you where willing to actually see the faces, the expressions of the people at work in front of you during one of those u0026quot;let me explain myselfu0026quot; scene, you are out of luck one time out of two – which is, in these times of all-digital processing, kind of a shame.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd it is full of mistakes, big and small, that youu0026#39;ll surely find a list of on this fine website if only people can be coerced to report on them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI hope the people who worked that film had fun, where getting paid and all that, and legitimately didnu0026#39;t hold too much hopes for the success of that thing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs much as I enjoyed Attack the Block, Pacific Rim or Independence Day or other stuff that people should obviously watch without taking it the least bit seriously, well, we are seriously into Anaconda III or various alligator/saurian Terribly Bad CGI siblings territory here; this is definitely no Snakes On A Plane.”
