the person whose comment read alien it ain not couldn not have be more dead on . the beginning of this movie start with the girl and who be the alien in this film simply because of a slight resemblance to the blonde alien in the original ( not because of any act skill ) and be a college professor give a lecture . she as believable a a college professor a steven hawk would be play a high school cheerleader . she look like an 18 year old high school cheerleader . she deliver her lecture as awkwardly a it be for u to watch it . there wasn not a person in the world who buy her a a college professor include the director and herself . she give the lecture and deliver the punchline so poorly and i knew at that point there would be no way i could finish this movie . it insult that anyone would think be suppose to buy her a a college professor . it be one of the bad piece of cast or write i have see this decade . the acting in the rest of the film and include ben cross performance and be terrible and literally unwatchable . i have see amateur performance on youtube that be good . about 20 minute into the movie i be just fast forward . the cgi look like it be unfinished and like it be from 1992. there be nothing scary or tension building about anything in this movie . i waste a netflix rental on this garbage and be more mad at myself than anything and mad at the rating this movie have in the imdb ( over 6 at this point it have to go down ) . i really like the original film . this movie should be take off any video store shelf . it just awful .
