In all honesty, I read a few reviews here before watching the movie and I thought the hate is insane. I didn't understand how could it be that bad and yet have a pretty high rating here.
Then I watched it and it wasn't boring in my opinion, at least not at first.
For me, the first half of the movie was way more fun than the second one. I mean characters were crappy for the most part and if it wasn't for Em, there would be zero likable characters in the movie OJ wasn't bad but still hard to love.
And it was kind of more exciting while it was still mysterious.
It was doing fairly ok until the alien actually showed up and started his bloody hunt.
For example, the scene where it devoured the entire audience along with Jupe was a huge fail. We didn't actually see much of anything there. If done well it would show the creature menacingly moving closer while people would try to flee and then it would show them floating in the air as the creature pulls them in. Then it would go for a much more bloody and violent scene than what we got. We saw them all in some kind of a dark hallway or something and no actual bloody deaths at all, yet there was so much screaming that you would have thought we saw anything disturbing. But it failed there.
After that the creature was pretty much openly waltzing around and eating basically all but the three main characters.
It's just completely lame and stupid compared to what could have been (more people finding out, epic showdown etc).
