I dunno. I thought the same thing at first when I thought it was just a remake of John Carpenter's version, but when I found out it is a prequel to those events I started to get a little more intrigued. Sure, there is sort of a lack of suspense because you already know everybody from the Norwegian outpost had died prior to the events in Carpenter's installment, but I had actually gotten sort of excited to see this.
Of course, now it is racking up some pretty poor Rotten Tomatoes ratings, so I don't think this installment is going to touch Carpenter quality-wise. Probably just going to wait to NetFlix it now.
well I thought the same thing too but after seeing the trailers it looked like the same EXACT movie pretty much. Does anybody know if they explore any back story to the aliens arrival?
