suite92 Cinematography: 7/10 Usually OK, but suffers from darkness and graininess.Sound: 8/10 The incidental music is a bit florid, but the recording is well done.Acting: 3/10 Mark Dacascos and Robin McKee were just plain bad. Both are miscast, which makes matters worse. Veteran actors Jurgen Prochnow and Roger Aaron Brown were better, but had to deal with the mediocre script.Screenplay: 5/10 Supposedly set in Malaysia, but some of the 'natives' use language one might find in the Philippines, where the filming was done. The expedition early on in the film had a Raiders of the Lost Ark feel to it, with a dash of King Solomon's Mines during the meetings with the locals. Perhaps the worst motivational piece was Carl asserting that many countries would pay large amounts of money for this biological weapon. Please! They could not control it in the least, just as nothing could control the alien killers in Alien or its sequels. The is no military application here, so no source of money. If they had kept with the idea of immunity-enhancing enzymes, the film would have been more coherent.Special Effects: 5/10 The monster, at least outside, was clearly a not-so-good man in a rubber suit. The helicopter crashes and explosions were between so-so and poor.

cmv32261 Mixes action, suspense, horror, and romance together (precise order is irrelevant) in a hilarious stew. That would be perfect if I was watching a comedy, but the writer's spun it as a serious Sci-Fi movie, not some cheesy flick, Forbidden Planet was far more realistic and it was a B-Movie. Taking elements from Jurassic Park, only in as much that the creature tore everyone apart with it's claws and teeth, Predator, again only because it could make itself invisible and had infrared vision, head looked somewhat like that of the Alien creature. The 1 scene where the CIA doctor's camera keeps flashing pictures driving the creature bonkers, why did they not just use strobe lights and while it was disoriented shoot darts with a sedative into it, high dose of some type of sedative. Does anyone buy it would have taken the CIA clean up team that long to arrive, come on now even for fiction that is difficult to believe. I feel compelled to let anyone who reviews this review, caught this movie on NETFLIX, sometime within the past 2 wks. I spoke to 1 of their CSRs reminding her that I canceled my streaming, free membership promotion with LG Smart TV ends in late November, service will continue until then. I told her that their movies cannot in any way ever be referred to as new releases, their movies are poorly written and directed, all around lousy quality. CSR had the nerve to tell me that most of the movies they have available for streaming are usually available through them before buying or rental, sure if 1 is referring to prior mentioned quality straight to TV, or DVD movies, TV 9 times out of ten you can bet your bottom dollar it was a SyFy Channel original.

ebiros2 The story takes place in province of Sarawak in the island of Borneo Malaysia, and the scenery is beautiful.An alien creature called Balakai's DNA gets used to create an alien clone that goes in a rampage killing people at random in the jungles of Borneo.The script is the worst part of this movie. There's lot of scene changes that doesn't blend smoothly, and a plot that doesn't make sense at times. As many people have pointed out, there are the blatant rip off of scenes from the movie Predator.Everything else about the movie is pretty good (for a B movie that is). Acting is pretty good, special effect is okay, and there's some decent action, and a story that's reasonably compelling.So it was a good movie to watch and provided good 2 hours of entertainment.

Big_Mike549 Watching this on TV I must say it was done fairly well. Good acting, average special effects with explosions, and a semi-storyline taken from other movies. The lead monster of the film looks okay. Some of the shots done in costume were below average while some of the CGI done at night were passable. The acting was good and made you feel the characters. I was surprised the writer killed off the lead child in the story. But on the down note the movie did rip-off a lot from other films. The African American computer expert is like the clone of Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park. Wearing the same clothing and even has a cigarette in his mouth all the time. And the ending was the same as Predator. The monster is a mixture of a Xenomorph and a Predator. And the helicopter crash was VERY fake. But I enjoyed the movie. A plus is how the script didn't go dull like in Boa and Arachnid. It capitalized off other movies.The bottom line. DNA may not be a masterpiece, and may not work out for everyone but for a late night movie it is more then some may need. 6/10
