this be a totally pointless remake of the 40 year old tv series that launch julie christie . no such luck this time round . the film open with a completely irrelevant rock climb scene and then deteriorate . there be just enough to hold some interest in the early scene and set in an unrealistically empty government research laboratory and with just four scientist evidence of bbc cost cutting . all the cash seem to have go on one special effect . but when the military appear and the whole storyline collapse . even the acting be wooden and with good actor such a jane asher and tom hardy unable to rise above the poor material they have to perform with . the risible debate good scientist against wicked soldier and human against alien and risk take biologist against cautious computer scientist be couch in the crude term of a 1950s american b movie . before the end no spoiler but utterly predictable the only question i be leave with be why be i waste my time watch this rubbish .
