[QUOTE="pming, post: 8432543, member: 45197"] Hiya! Ok, interesting premise. Acceptable initial incident. After that though....it's all downhill, then down the beach, into the water, out to sea, and plunged into the Marianas Trench! I mean, seriously? What the heck were the writers, directors and producers thinking?!? This is what happens when you have a trio of 13 year old's write a story...and then you give them a huge budget for a movie and total control. There are soooo many plot holes that you won't be looking for them...you'll be looking for the actual movie and story in a sea of plot holes. I have no words to describe just how absolutely horrible this "story" is. For any that have an Amazon Prime subscription, it's in your Amazon Videos. But I warn you, it's 1 hour and 49 minutes you will NOT get back! SPOILERS!!! My top 10 questions not answered: [LIST=1] [*]Why is the 2nd ship here? ("The left for a better life"...ok... what was so bad about Earth?) [*]Why does "it" only affect men? [*]How/why did everyone break up into different settlements? [*]Why did the original colonists leave the 1st ship? [*]What do the aliens have to do with...er...anything? Serioiusly?! ANYTHING at all... [*]How does a town go 20'ish years keeping a single secret from a single guy? [*]WHY do they do "it"? [*]Why does the Mayor want the girl? [*]Why did the Preacher do that to the dog? [*]Where the heck is everyone on the 2nd ship? It was supposed to have 4,000 people eager to land. [/LIST] I could go on for another two or three dozen questions, but man o man! This movie is a train wreck of story telling. *In regards to #5, this is one of the most confusing. There are "hostile aliens" that live on the planet. Why are they hostile? I don't know. They are enountered ONCE...a fight breaks out...then it leaves when it realizes there's a female. It doesn't run, freaking out...it just kinda casually looks at her, confused for a second or two, then turns and wanders away. Aliens are never encountered again. What was the point? It's almost like someone was pulling an extended "Fight Club" film splice, but with an alien fighting the main character in stead of showing a single frame of a 'periwinkle'. ^_^ Paul L.
