After watching The Pyramid last night, I had some more time
to pass while working on my homework. So, I decided to jump into the second
flick I rented at Family Video, to help keep my mind focused. Next up is that
flick, 2014s Extraterrestrial
Plot/ A group of friends on a weekend trip to a cabin in the
woods find themselves terrorized by alien visitors.
When I saw this one, it definitely looked like there was
some potential. In fact, some of that actually did translate to the screen.
Unfortunately, between the clichéd moments and uneven dialog, much of it went
unnoticed. I will say that I did enjoy some of the alien sequences, and found
that a lot of the storyline was interesting (although rehashed). Yes, the
characters (even the aliens) made some head scratching decisions, and then
there was the ending. While I am a huge fan of the X-Files, the homage to the
show and the cigarette smoking man was unneeded. In the end, this one did have
some entertaining moments but did not meet its full potential. Not for
everyone, if you love Sci-Fi/horror alien flicks (especially from the SyFy
Network), you should give it a shot.
