There is this one character and in every scene he has, yes, every scene, every single one....I mean that... he is taking his visor style hat off or putting it on again. Often multiple times in same scene. OK, I misled you a little. Not every scene off and on. In a few he is just touching it or repositioning it. But every scene the hat is involved.Quite astonishing. You would think the Director would notice.Or at least the stupid actor who should be thinking, erm, 'this is dumb'.Watch and have a laugh. But made it unwatchable for me.

I want back the time I wasted on this movie. I want back the expectation that I was watching a remake of the older classic starring Doug McClure. This movie was so horribly done, I have to wonder why anyone would even bother. Who was pretending to be a director or producer here?I don't even know where to start. Maybe the 1990s Saturday morning cartoonish dinosaurs. Maybe the horrible play-acting and over-acting. Maybe the script and dialog that at times don't even make sense. Maybe the bizarre music that didn't even fit the plot most of the time (I felt like I was listening to an opera while watching a horror movie). Maybe the fake-gravelly-whisperish voice of the boat captain. Maybe the lack of character development. Maybe the insertion of subtle sexual hints at totally inappropriate moments. Maybe the fact that it's obviously the same ridiculous Sci-Fi Channel filler trash that we've come to expect from a channel that used to be a legitimate place to watch classic and new sci-fi and has instead turned into a cartoon factory.I guess what I'm saying is, don't even bother to watch this movie. It will be the most unpleasant lost two hours of your life. Don't even bother. I hate to be a hater, but this really is the biggest waste of remaking time and expense I've ever seen. But then since the expense was obviously minimal, I guess time was only thing really lost here.

Was hoping a few years back that this new Company Asylum was to be a sort of new Hammer Films, for the LA underground scene of the new Millennium: but after watching a few movies, i quickly realized how pedestrian, amateur, and vulgar these non films are! There's virtually no redeeming virtue,no attempt to make anything at least with some visual style or interesting innovative take! It is just a land of despair, where all actors desperately trying to make a living are exploited in characters without any development, the supporting cast is made by stunt players or,if by any chance,there was anybody good (like in another film,called "Countdown:Jerusalem", so bad and convoluted,to make hardly any sense at all,and, where, had sadly noticed that while, most supporting roles were given to experienced actors virtually set up to failure, almost mocked by having to portray with their usual professional intensity,non roles,the leads,instead, were played by some people who looked honestly had never even acted before,or, most likely never even thought to pursue acting at all!) you can be sure they'd almost hide her/his presence, since it seems that any artistic requirement in this new type of filmmaking, is to be bashed and condemned! Art direction,Costumes and especially make up are normally also so wildly bad,ridiculous and just so wrong, that even an Ed Wood movie,by comparison, could get Awards,next to this ugly boredom. I must say that if anybody deserves praise,here, then i should mention the Editors of these 'so called features', since it is obvious they work with material that looks less inspiring than 7 days old garbage, and still always try to cut it with some professional talent, in order to avoid complete disaster! Why making films like this? I hear there are so many talented filmmakers out there, unemployed, and yet, the once fun Sy/Fy Channel, now has decided to give most of their production to this inept,lazy, vulgar Film Company, that gives a bad name to Genre films,and just during a time when such movies had just been rediscovered from the past, and brought back with a new sense of style and creativity by a few interesting new independent directors, who strive instead to get funded. It's insulting to watch such ridiculous nonsense, sad to see money spent this bad, and worrying to think major cable channels have deals to make more of this Z grade standard degraded 'cinema'! Do yourself a favor and spend some money in some older&greater Euro B exploitation flick's in DVD, or in some American campy ones from 20/30 years ago, but leave this deconstructive crap alone! Avoid the massacre of what was once called adventurous filmmaking! There's nothing adventurous here, just desolation.
