least 10 others are alive.
Now, some also may say it's poor form to criticize a film in which a robot w/only vocal chords can go on speaking for hours, but I think it's a fair point. No lungs, no air to give power to vocalizations. And that's only one rip-off of a previous film.
Here's the situation in a nutshell: this film had NO NO NO suspense. It was all action. But sic-fi isn't action, unless it's the Terminator series. Hell, Predator had more suspense than this and was, in its modest way, FAR more intelligent. A complicated story isn't anything to get excited about, any 8-year old kid can weave one. And it would make as much sense as this one did.
Confusing the audience isn't difficult with a poorly written script. What makes this doubly irritating is that it PURPOSEFULLY was made so, to pass itself off as "intelligent" by making viewers feel it must be very smart if they cannot "get it."
The creature at the end that resembles the creature at the beginning w/out a helmet... why does the octopus-like victor's spawn look like the muscle-guy at the beginning when he put on a helmet?
See? Just dumb complexity to disguise a paucity of thought, a paucity of inventiveness.
Who wrote this drivel?
