looks cool." But I went in expecting to be frustrated, and was able to just enjoy the movie for what it is: a bad-ass, scary, disturbing action/horror adventure. And the Lindelof nonsense (like dialog that sounds like it was written for Locke from Lost) is kept to tolerable levels.Concept: B

Fabulous special effects, competent acting, written by people who have no idea how a scientific investigation is conducted, characters dying from incredible stupidity, makeup awful.
