First clue that this wasn't going to be a good one was the intro-sequence that took 10 mins...
To be fair - I thoroughly enjoyed how the cast switched from English to Spanish to Mayan (or something made up ?) seamlessly. No extraordinary accents, nothing so thick you couldn't make it out. Just a bunch of actors with great language skills !
When 4/5 of the movie has gone by the diving and action starts taking place...the CGI and effects were effective and surprisingly good but not enough to save the movie....
SPOILER ALERT Also an extreme logical blunder that really ruined it for me. WHY is it necessary to hold on to a timed explosive device to "fight them off as long as possible" ? Set it and forget it - run you fool ! Or in this case - swim.
Also - why collapse the walls and stuff when 3-4 of the aliens ALREADY has pass you by and you just MIGHT NEED to know more about the containment devices used ??? Seriously - some scriptwriter was sleeping during class and when writing the script...ruined even more of the movie for me.
Gave it a 2-star because of the actors doing a good job...perhaps even great given the material - hope to see more of them later !
