I didn't like it, and was extremely disappointed. However, I had pretty high expectations from both the set photos & trailer.
I was really surprised by how mediocre the acting was. I thought Adrian Brody would deliver a stellar performance, but I feel Michelle Rodriguez was the better of the two. I also felt the story lacked the extra punch it needed, considering how simplistic it was.
The biggest problem I have with the movie, is the two glaring holes it possesses.
1) Laurence Fishburne's character is made out to be this big survival guru type, who is also pretty smart and savy. So, how does he live on this island for 5+ years and never once think, let alone consider, stealing the predator's spacecraft?!?
When Adrian Brody's character mentions it, Fishburne responds with: "you know, I never thought of that".
I don't buy that one bit.
2) Near the end when Adrian Brody is leading the group to escape in the spacecraft, he goes on his own and gets in the cockpit & takes off. Seconds later, it explodes and somehow he has magically made it out. It's never shown or explained how he made it out alive.
