i really like the old quatermass film and even though i discover them belatedly and be from the u and i get some enjoyment out of the tv series . but this remake be simply dreadful . the writing and direction be horrendous . most of the time it be simply dull and but occasionally the poor actor have to deliver line that make no sense and or go from quiet discussion to drastic scenery chewing in a heartbeat . i be a huge science fiction fan and will watch ( and enjoy ) almost anything with a hint of science fiction to it . i can find great pleasure in a good b film and put up with almost anything to enjoy a bit of space travel and alien contact and or futuristic speculation of any kind . but i have to give up after about 36 minute of this . i skip forward and drop in once in a while if anything look remotely interesting . it never be . partly because it be live and partly because it be cheap and and partly because the people who create this be completely lack in intelligence or imagination and it be utterly without even a pretense of support special effect ( e. g. and monitor with important data the actor be all discuss be tilt away from the camera so you only see the back of the monitor ) and the set be plain and very few and the audio be terrible and the whole show be dark and dreary look and and the end be a uneventful and lame a any movie or television program i have ever see . do not waste your time . it not even interest a a curiosity . there be absolutely nothing to recommend it .
