No

That was shockingly bad and lazy. It had the potential to be interesting and it's own film, yet cops out with incredibly lazy writing that relies on the viewers knowledge of the JC version to fill in the blanks or make allowances for the amazing speed that the heroine connects all the dots.

At some points they try to make their own film, yet in others blatantly copy scenes and imitated shots from the JC version.

To some extent I'm not sure if this new version is trying to emulate the alien by offering us a dodgy copy of the JC version that although tries to look the same is simply a lame, bogus and empty imitation.

I've literally just fast forwarded through the last 40 minutes because it was so awful I didn't want it corrupting the kudos of the JC version.

What a cheap, nasty, lazy tie in. The studio should be ashamed of themselves for so shamelessly exploiting the reputation of one of their classics for such a grubby, undeserving piece of crap.

This is one is those movies that is fairly entertaining, but instantly forgettable.

Nei.

FYI that's Norwegian for "no." I'm not Norwegian. I had to google it.
