Is it fair to classify this as a horror flick? Did it scare anyone even at the time of its release? It is very very thrilling no doubt, but it is not scary.
Few random points:
1. The gore and the violence is the worst part of this film. It is such a pathetic waste. Unfortunately, the story is built around it and has to be in this film.
2. Did Kurt Russel ever really look like that? Interesting but hard to believe his appearance.
On the story:
1. I liked the concept of the alien in this film. What an idea! The alien does not have a form of its own but imitates humans. The team, stranded in Antarctica, does not know who the alien is among them. More than the story, the execution or the horror (as it is supposed to be) it is the idea that did the trick for me
2. The first forty minutes or so are not that exciting. The style of the film, I can't describe it, is different. To me it seemed like a thriller being told in the style of a drama. The way the scenes change, the people's behavior and the over all visual style. All this works very well after the first forty minutes.
RATING: 3.5/5
