Nonureva Really Surprised!

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Wizard-8 I really didn't have a problem with the basic premise of this movie, even if it has been done to a degree many times before in other movies. What I did object to, however, was how poorly done this particular version was. For starters, the movie moves at a glacial pace. Now, I am not one of those yahoo moviegoers who demands every movie move at a rapid pace from beginning to end; I realize that you do have to take time in a movie to set up the situations and characters. But the movie's first half all the same is way too slow, taking about double the time that another movie would take. Eventually I was asking the movie to simply get on with it. Actually, despite the slow pace of the first half of the movie, there are some parts of the story where the movie does NOT take its time. There are some very important plot points where desperately needed explanation is needed, but never happened. Whether the script was originally like this, or some important footage got left on the cutting room floor, I can't say for sure. All I can say is that the first half of the movie is extremely confusing. The second half of the movie is somewhat of an improvement over the first half. The pacing picks up, there is some action, and there is some plot explanation. But is it worth slogging through the first half of the movie? I say no. The movie still fails to engage the viewer, and you'll be counting the minutes before the movie finally ends. I say skip the entire package.

suite92 The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: Mercenaries invade a compound in a former Soviet republic. At 36 minutes in, that was all that was accomplished. They have some advanced intel, so they know how to penetrate deep (as in below the surface) into the compound. It's a medical research facility of some sort.Delineation of conflicts: Something 'down there' is waiting for them, and is not friendly. The mercenaries get stuck with hypodermics and gassed.The reason for the effort was the desire on the part of the Soviets to catch up with UK-CH-US in terms of genetics. A vastly old meteorite found on Soviet territory contained some DNA of unknown origin. The scientific effort was to learn things about genetics using the DNA plus whatever was needed to fill in from the human genome. Hence the title, The Hybrid.The orders for the mercenaries from their client is to get the research and destroy the facility. The hybrids have different ideas altogether.Resolution: True motives and abilities show up, along with unexpected stupidity.

calexicoca So many times here on IMDb you will see good reviews for absolute garbage of a movie. Obviously people involved with the production were very active to provide good reviews because it benefits them only. I don't know what can be done to avoid this, but IMDb has to come up with some kind of safeguard, otherwise reviews and scoring will become totally irrelevant.That is the case for this piece of s. When you read these reviews after watching the movie it just makes you laugh and be angry at the same time because of obvious manipulation. Don't waste your time on this turd!

angiedaylewis This was really poor on so many levels. I was dubious about this at around 15 minutes in, both the script and the acting was sub-par but I thought I'd persevere to see the alien hybrids in the cellar!It wasn't worth the wait. An alien which can be disguised by a pair of dark glasses, does not a terrifying alien make.Thought the alien birth might be worth seeing...to see the "purer" form of alien.... but it didn't happen. Maybe the budget didn't stretch to an alien baby!And the final scene is just ridiculous....the only reason the protagonist would not kill the alien is to allow for a sequel! Made no sense at all.I am struggling to think of a positive, but can't come up with anything. Shame, it was an interesting idea but badly executed.
