Yes, it was pretty shite. Why did you watch it? :) I only went to see it because the other guy from work wanted to. Can't believe it was high in the DVD sales charts here.

To be fair I think part of the shiteness may be from the original story. I mean it's basically just a lot of running around from scary monsters then 'oh, they're dead'. Not the most involving plot.

It's possible that another part of the shiteness may be from the speed at which the film was made. Wired had a feature about it, how it was being done incredibly quickly - for an effects-heavy blockbuster - in order to fit in between other commitments or something. (This involved using lots of whizzy new technology, hence Wired story.)

Ferry scene was a nice action sequence though :) All the human-against-human stuff could have made for an interesting story, shame it wasn't this one.
