Just saw this one via the Toronto Film Festival. Starts off with a really cool, retro-John Carpenter feel and the build-up is pretty tense and fittingly claustrophobic. However as the movie plays on the characters begin to become cartoons and the message of the film, while positive, becomes increasingly ham-fisted.
And then comes the final act. The tone takes an incredulous 180 and never recovers.
Too bad, cause it had potential.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when the credits rolled and i saw Max Landis listed as writer. Had absolutely no clue up till now that he was involved. Looks like they are trying really hard to scrub him, and I wonder if re-writes contributed to the inconsistencies of the film.
