Forced to crash-land on a deserted island, a flight-crew finds their chances for survival hindered by their constant squabbles for control as well as the ravenous blob-like alien species on the island with them and must find a way of stopping them and get off alive.
This here was quite the enjoyable if overall flawed horror effort. This generates quite a lot of great points here with the strong opening that really sets this one off on a wild note by initiating plenty of seemingly disparate moments into a seeming whole. Instigating a plot-thread about a damaged plane, the strange gas- cloud following them and the potential UFO sighting all within the first part of the film sets this one off on a seemingly wild bent even before bringing along the hijacker that causes them to crash the plane, and when that gets them not only stranded on the island but also forced to confront the potential of something else stuck there with them it's a rather strong and impressive set of circumstances that bring this along. Followed by the crash and the first instances of the realization of the island being inhabited by something with the discovery of the alien ship there that infects the one passenger, it creates quite an appealing and generally wild atmosphere that carries on to the other scenes throughout here of the passengers being abducted and taken to the spaceship on the island where they also get infected with the virus-like being that turns them into the deadly creatures. That gets carried on nicely here with the aliens coming after them repeatedly in the final moments of this one and generating quite a few tense scenes including where he attacks them on the plane, a chase through the mountains on the side of the crash-site and the thrilling final battle around the plane where they finally manage to overcome the creature, these here work nicely and give this one a lot to really like overall. There's still a lot of flaws here, mostly taking place with the fact that there's just not a lot of action here with this one focusing more on the utterly ridiculous notion of focusing on the crew squabbling and being completely oblivious to anything about what's happening around them as they try to wrestle with each other over their petty issues. It's the kind of notion that's really hard to believe would realistically happen in a scenario as this with a vast majority of the film taken up with everyone arguing over each other and not really generating any kind of effort to bring themselves into a nominal plot line and really makes the film hard to root for what's going on by focusing on this irritating, unbelievable and unnatural scenario. Likewise, the purpose of their visitation and why they're here is never made clear as the point of infected hosts when their mission is to destroy them eventually makes little sense and isn't really explored until quite late in the film. The low-key special effects might turn some off, but on the whole there's not a whole lot else really wrong here.
Rated PG: Violence and Language.
