This is a book adaptation and also a film remake.... so was it any where as intriguing and suspenseful as the original film from 1982 starring Kurt Russell? I liked the original so much more, not that this one was horrible by any means. The great thing about computer technology and the digital arts is the fact that you can create such a unique world and scary aliens. This version was heavy on the CGI and the one thing that saved it was the simple twists and adjustments to the original screen play. They kept the film in 1982, but this version used computer technology to make this alien encounter that more realistic. I liked the fact that they had mostly Norwegian characters with a couple of Americans, and I also liked the fact that Kurt Russell's character is now a woman (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). This film is not a time waster, but if you loved the original, don't expect to see that again.
I give it a 6 out of a 10.
Next up is "In Time."
