Plot - A silly film that can't determine whether it wants to be classic Hollywood fodder or true blue sci-fi flick. The romance angle is just ridiculous, while the UFO discovery scene is pure genius.
Form - Lots of long takes of conversations for some reason.
F/X - Pretty great, especially the big fire sequence that John Carpenter's remake didn't get right.
Acting - Awful. I wouldn't be able to tell that any of these people were scared of anything.
Mise en scene - Nice sets and some good locations.
Quotables - No.
Cool stuff - Aliens, aliens catching fire, UFOs, UFOs being frozen.
3/7
