A very pretty looking movie with a gorgeous soundtrack. Everything else is just kind of there, which is a typical problem with Ridley Scott films. It's no where near as bad as Prometheus, but you'd have to work pretty hard to that bad.
There's no Damon Lindelof this time so the script is a trillion times better and coherent. It's still riddled with inconsistencies and holes. I don't know how they never saw that giant city even though the film…
Was not prepared for how bad this one gets. It starts out mediocre and generic, and manages to get progressively worse from there. It's just your standard horror thriller until around the 30 minute mark then it falls straight of a cliff.
From its super cornball backstory of the demon that is not even on the level of video game story telling, to the demon's uneven and confusing powers, to the ultra beyond-cliche ending, the movie manages to one-up itself…
This was fine. Nothing amazing or anything. They did a good job obviously making this on the super cheap. Multiple sets are re-used just by adding purple lighting and a fog machine. I'm guessing 99% of the budget went to getting Barbara Crampton on screen for 5 minutes, which I'm alright with. 5 minutes of Barbara Crampton is better than no minutes. Never thought I would say this about a movie, but if you're not nostalgic for shitty VHS board games, you can probably pass on this one.
Sometimes you get bored on a monday afternoon and watch a 6 hour documentary, and sometimes it's 6 hours well spent.
