I have seen all of the great reviews, high viewer ratings and I do not get it. As one lady said on the way out " we should have seen the Disney movie". It started off slow and got stupid. It brought to mind Richard Pryor's routine about White people and horror movies. Any horror movie has to set up it's "world" but this one is internally inconsistent. The beginning could have been left off since it didn't add anything to the plot. I understand now the point was to make fun of certain horror films. I didn't get it at the time. It could have been a very good psychological thriller. The only interesting point was the Alpha male vs. Beta male starting about half way through the movie. If they had developed it more it would have been much more interesting. I don't get all of the full frontal nudity of the monsters. It didn't add anything at all to the movie. I will admit the acting was good but the characters were uninteresting. A previous reviewer said either you like it or you hate it. I would have to agree with that.

The first fifteen minutes or so were great. I was really looking forward to the rest of movie. Then it went downhill to a cheesy sci-fi movie that changed it's plot to match the special effects.

Any movie has its own constructs that it must follow. This movie doesn't doesn't follow its own constructs. . I really can't explain more with out lots of spoilers.

I was amazed at how boring Morgan Freeman was. That says a lot about the movie.

Save your money and wait for it on Netflix if you really wan't to see Scarlett. She is actually decent in this movie but she can't save it.
