    Utterly boring
    This was a recommended film to watch by my daughter but I wish I hadn't bothered it felt like a waste of my time lost in the mists of the universe

    One of the most boring and tiresome movies I have viewed in a long while, it seemed like a good idea for a movie but spoiled rotten by almost every facet of the film

    It was as frighteningly harrowing as fighting with a sticky lollipop caught in the collar of my grannies woolly jumper.

    Take my advice and save yourself some time and go and wash the dishes or paint your kitchen cupboards but do something more exciting.

    Acting skills were bereft and dismal as were the dubbed voices, dark pictures

    Not a pleasurable experience.

    Dismal
    This dreary film appears almost unwatchable as it's almost impossible to see what is actually happening. Its scenes are either shot at night or in the ship's hold. There's virtually no light from any source and everything is dark or in impenetrable shadows. I tried to improve things by adjusting the TV, but without success. The creature appears in the last 15 minutes, but the viewer is so bored by then it elicits only yawns. This is one of those movies that you are genuinely pleased when the credits start to roll.one has to wonder what the director was trying to achieve - Alien on a boat? Really?

    Wasted opportunity
    Obviously you've got some money for sets and effects, you've got Liam Cunningham, you've got David Dastmalchian, you've got a cute kid, a girl, and a slightly different take on Dracula. You could make a good, escapist movie!

    Ah, but no, not these people. This movie has not a glimmer of intelligence, not a moment's humorous relief, not a single unwasted opportunity.

    So much is wrong with it, but I can single out the worst two or three. First, stu pi di ty. The characters, even the most supposedly intelligent, educated, and experienced, show absolutely no situational awareness at any time. Not even the simplest, most basic marks are hit. I know a savage beast is hunting, but do I show any urgency? Do I, say, look around me? No, no; that's for other people. You just can't care about people that stupid.

    And Liam Cunningham is absolutely, utterly wasted. He could have been a good focal character, an anchor. But no, they find no use for him.

    And there's no real suspense, because there's never a chance they'll beat Dracula. He's too powerful and too smart, and they're too stupid. For instance: they find out that his victims burst into flames in sunlight. So of course, the only hunt for him in daytime, right? No, no; that would make too much sense!

    Ah well, I'll stop. Just don't waste your time.
