This movie is a prequel to the 1982 Kurt Russell classic. Director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. does an outstanding job of filming this movie so that if someone were to watch both of these films for the first time they would not realize that the Kurt Russell movie was made almost 30 years ago. The cinematograpy and the music is similar and the director does not overwhelm viewers with updated special effects.
The story takes place at an Antarctica research site, the discovery of an alien craft leads to a confrontation between graduate student Kate Lloyd, played by newcomer Mary Elizabeth Winstead and scientist Dr. Sander Halvorson played by Ulrich Thomsen.
This flick has a few suprises and flows into the 1982 version seemlessly.
I recommend that you watch this movie then go home and watch the Kurt Russell version on Netflicks if you still subscribe to them after the price increase.
Verdict:
Well done, you will not be disappointed.
