Not stellar, but pretty good. Had all the regulars Carmen, johnny Rico and Carl the esp guy. Some good crazy action however a bit heavy on drama that didn't really work for me. Decent enough story and faithful to the original. A little overboard with the nudity, but hey. i like boobs as much as the next guy. Worth a rental for sure. Some effects and graphics worked really well at times, sometimes not so much. The bug animations were kinda stiff while the texture work was really good on the faces and "ahem" skin. You can tell which scenes they spent time polishing. By far much better then Starship Troopers 2 or 3. My only real complaint is that the story itself felt kinda rushed and didn't really have any nuance. It was a good story and some of the time I felt was wasted on things that were not needed at the cost of fleshing out the premise of the movie. Just my 2 cents.

The Mist
(2007)
this movie is now in my top 5 of all time
3 August 2012
i really enjoyed this movie. just watched it for the second time since it was released. i can honestly say it is imo the best film adaption of a novella i have ever seen. the acting was just outstanding, and the horror, while tame by today's standards of goreporn. was genuine and suspenseful. i cant recommend this movie highly enough. everything just works. the ending and subplot of where the mist came from is even better then the original novella. a must watch for king fans. while the cgi does indeed not age well it is sparsely used and in fact to great effect in some instances. this is not an effects movie. it is a character movie and a what would you do kind of movie. i have seen a lot of crap made out of books to movies, and this is just above the cut. if your thinking of getting it in any form, do so. if you don't like it i will give you a dollar.
