The first thing I thought was...Gee talk about Foreshadowing!!! There is only one reason for those to be there and that is so they can blow them at the end of the movie because otherwise they would All be screwed!!  (I have Really started to notice stuff like this in movies, I don't want to be a movie snob but the foreshadowing has become Way to obvious in so many movies....)And then a week "action" editing acting scene at the end when (Laurence) is going to blow the ship-attachement-bomb-"thingys" and as he hits the detonator Weir (? Sam) holds out his arms rather stiffly and looking into the camera goes "No!"   It was such a cut chop sconce with no real action on Weirs part...Here he is this malevolent entity that apparently can not be harmed and must Really like Pain and the best he can do is Just stand there and stiffly raise his arms and say "No."   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Come on...He should have ripped a rib out of his body and thrown it at the Captain or at least tried to dive at him or something...And then "Baby bear" (whatever the heck his name was)it sucked for him to get sucked in and it was ok that he was all "evil nasty creepy wrong thing guy" but then he is all (In the airlock) "I want to die, if you saw the things I saw you would want to die too!" (I am thinking NO $#!+ dude!)And then just before the airlock blows he all of a sudden is like.."What's going on...?"  (Dude did you just forget going to hell?! uh huh...OK let him get sucked into space!)OK just some nitpicks....I did think it was a good cast though, several people that have made some other good (imo) movies.  The nasty bad guy from The Patriot, Sam Neil, Laurence Fishburn (I thought he was excellent in this movie.)Some good lines though..One I can think of that I especially liked was right when they get to the EH and the initial entry crew (Fishburn I'm pretty sure was the one who said it) and Sam asks "Any sign of the crew yet?" and Fishburn goes "If we had found anything you would know!"  It doesn’t seem funny typed out.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />   But it was pretty funny when he said it!!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  he heI can't wait for the re-make!!  I bet in another, oh lets say 5-10 years?!Come on you know it's going to happen!!bwahah!!I'll watch it again the next time it's on though <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />ut what do I know!?I though "Signs" was creepy and that "the Ring" was Not so.........YMMV and all that! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> (I am not saying I didn't like The Ring, I just didn't find it scary..but that is a different topic <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)</blockquote>
