Not a bad little film, but nothing spectacular. I must admit that I haven’t seen the original since I saw it the first time at the cinema, and I can’t exactly see myself rushing out to buy the DVD of this one.
Some good lines, and entertaining performances, but the CGI is not used with as much verve as it is in say Minority Report. Basically we seem to have reached a point with CGI that every action flick has to have copious amounts, and frankly it doesn’t really startle as much as it did. I remember getting excited by the monsters in Ghostbusters years ago, and we simply don’t seem to have moved on enough. It just gets easier to do. Did like the Peter Graves inserts though (undoubtedly extra material for the DVD release).
