Now I know why Universal dumped this film off to Netflix.

Some really good action scenes, original and very neat-looking 'creatures' and some pretty decent performances made…

There comes to a point in a film where I believe that CGI is necessary to tell a story, and for the most part, I believe this movie falls into that category of what most CGI haters would call a CGI fest of a movie. Yet since I’m…
