If you've seen movies like "Alien" + it's sequels, movies like Predator or other SciFi-Action-Horror-Comedy movies the story of this one won't come to you as a surprise.
A team of military guys enter a secret facility to "save the world". People die, only few make it out alive.
I found the element of amnesia of one of the main charakters (Alice) interesting. Though this element has been used many times in other movies it nevertheless keeps the movie interesting, as Alice tries to find out who she is, what she did in the past and why she did it.
So what else is to say about a movie featuring a basic story that has been told many times before?
To enjoy the movie (any movie like that) you have to focus on other elements that make a movie, which mainly would be the "how is the story told", and I think the way this story is told is worth 2 stars. Esp. since the movie is not trying to be funny or too entertaining (which I really hate about horror movies).
If a movie intends to scare (regardless how cheap the scares are) comic relief is always misplaced.
Worth mentioning is, that the AI is not the usual [bad]-software that simply goes berzerk, or follows a plan of it's own or wants to rule the world. The AI most of the time in this movie makes sense and is simply doing what it was programmed to do.
The rest is action and suspense. Predictable sometimes, but who cares. People who want to be amused by a movie should watch comedy, not horror. People who want movies to make sense should watch the news (even that doesn't always make sense) and not action-horror-suspense movies.
