Not Bad But Not Great

from Chicago, IL.
I loved the original 1950s movie as well as the 1982 re-make by John Carpenter. This movie was enjoyable and the special affects were excellent however the film lacked the depth and suspense that the first Carpenter movie provided. The characters in the Prequel were bland and we failed to feel any kind of connection with them as I did with the characters in the first Carpenter film. We are also left hanging on what happens to one of the main characters which I found a bit empty. The end scenes fit very nicely into the beginning of the 1982 film. All in all I would wait until it comes out on cable. It’s not a must see on the big screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
