Mediocre. — 12 weeks ago
The only reason I wouldn’t consider this ‘not worth consuming’ is because I think the concept is decent, probably even able to be turned into a worthy movie, although the director who took on the task surely did not do a good job. The beginning wasn’t terrible, but there were so many off things that it brought the whole movie down in the end anyway. There are still a few things unexplained, one of which I’m really curious about – why did the people insist on getting naked or at least taking off their boots before wandering off into the snow? It made little sense to me. Also, I had a real issue with the smothering scene, considering he went from struggling to dying in a matter of two to three seconds. He would have passed out before then.
But what really ruined the movie was when you saw the spirits of the fossils. That was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen, particularly when the one dragon-looking creature carried Hoffman off into what is perceived as death.
I certainly wouldn’t recommend it, at least not unless you’re truly bored.
