So how in the name of C'Thulhu does crap like this keep getting made.
Okay, we have another variation on the Alien plot. People are trapped on a ridiculously huge ship with bad lighting, being hunted by poorly defined monsters and big surprise, there is a tie in to a video game.
And a movie like this wouldn't be complete without the characters being dumped into a pit full of human bones....
The problem is that when you have a movie based on the video game mentality, you get the plot of a video game. Chase, fight, revelation, rinse, wash, repeat.
What you don't get is character development, moral choices, etc that you see in truly great Science Fiction. Have any of these people ever read a book?
