I was kind and gave it an average rating. Before the last 5 minutes, I would have given it a much higher rating, but the entire movie centered around the potential of 2 important events happening.

1. The main character wanted to have last words with his wife (ex-wife?).

and

2. The rescue.

After discussing their attempt to reach his wife the entire movie, they finally make contact and he doesn't say anything. And point 2, the movie ends right when the rescue is happening and they don't show if it occurred or not.

This movie could have been "GREAT" if they hadn't kept us hanging the ENTIRE movie on those 2 events and then not resolve either of them. I'd highly recommend re-cutting the movie to actually finish the story and it would be a great movie.

The story was very believable until the end of the movie. Yes, 30 minutes needs to be cut out of the middle of it. Too many people will fall asleep, but the acting was good and the story was interesting and believable until..

Near the end they find they have around 18 minutes of battery life left before they lose all their data of one of the biggest finds in human history. The good news is they think they *might* be able to make it down the hill to access a battery before the 18 minutes is up. The bad news and where the story becomes so totally idiotic and not believable is at that point they spend 5 minutes packing their car with all the equipment outside including such minor things as electrical extension cords, so now they only have 13 minutes. Then when you think the insanity has ended, they get down the hill and the guy who knows where the battery is tells them to stop the car in an empty parking lot, he jumps out and runs no joke about a half a mile to the door to get the battery and then runs back half a mile to the car with the battery. They actually show the *empty* parking lot almost went completely up to the door.

What a shame, such potential to destroy it all in the last 20 minutes. I highly recommend them to recut the movie and take out those 2 ridiculous parts.

The death scenes were the weakest and cheapest out of all the movies 1-7. One example is Jason swings an ax at the chest of someone, but right before it hits them, the camera swings away and then the camera goes back and the ax is basically glued to the guy's chest. The scene essentially cost them the price of a tube of super glue. For that, I rated it a 4 as almost every death scene was similar.

But for him to leave the attic and go back down into the house leaving the hammer is just 100% unrealistic and stupid....and just the fact that he wasn't carrying a weapon. There are all kinds of weapons. ... in the end, a beautiful movie, but come on liberal Hollywood, keep it realistic.
