This is film is unbelievably overrated...
Wow... I still can't understand its rank. Am i crazy? It's not the first time In don't agree with a movie's notation, but this is really crazy, how on earth can this thing get an 8 on IMDB?? It's not that I hate all of it: actually I thought that the idea was interesting, I liked the cast and also I tend to like huis-clos movies (I don't know how this is called in english, but it means a film with a single location indoors) and I like the general mood of the film. But unfortunately good will, good intentions aren't enough to make a good film. The dialogues, which are really central for this kind of stories, are terrible. I read somewhere that the acting was awful too but I disagree, fault is on the horrendous dialogues throughout the movie, so terribly terrible that no actor in the world would seem believable nor able to give a feeling of genuine truth to their characters... It's just not possible. Every character seems and feels like a caricature of themselves - the geeky biologist, the calm paced paleontologist, the still teenage like professor of I don't remember what who's dating his so much younger student, etc., etc. . Everything was so cheesy and felt like a real waste of a good idea.
In the end I thought, wow this is a good "movie student first film"... no wait, this is suppose to be a "real" Hollywood movie.
So bad...
