An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Kate Beckinsale, I thought I should give it a try. Eventually, after watching this, I wonder if the original comic-book it was based on it was actually any good because this adaptation was seriously underwhelming. Basically, it resembles a really average CSI episode, or any similar cop show, and the only thing which was intriguing was the fact that it was taking place in Antarctica. I mean, right from the first scene with Beckinsale, they managed to have her taking off all her clothes and even though she is still in shape and still look stunning, you wonder what this scene was supposed to add to the whole plot. So, it was a rather boring story and Antarctica with its impressive landscape and harsh conditions of life, meaning that you could easily die within a few minutes if you are not careful enough, was the only point of interest. I mean, none of the characters were developed and even Beckinsale's background was rather pathetic. To conclude, if they kept the setting, threw away the whole plot and rewritten all the characters, it could have been a decent movie but the story they gave us was pretty boring and I don't think it is really worth a look.
