It was almost like they were trying to incorporate the story of the Philadelphia project into the movie. If you don't know what that is, I recommend researching, it's very interesting. The movie certainly makes you use your brain, and really kept my attention throughout. Not really any boring parts, that's always a plus. Hate to break it to you though, you won't see hardly any of the monster until the very end. However, other aspects of the movie almost make up for it, in the fact that it does pretty much explain everything that happened, and fits in as a prequel pretty well compared to other movie franchises. The characters can be a little irritating at times, but otherwise, I'd say it was definitely a success.
