Taylor is no James Cameron. Let’s face it, he’s competent, but is bogged down by a really silly script. Oh, that twist in the tale? It comes a little earlier than you would expect. An actor of the caliber of JK Simmons in this film is such a shame. And that, dear reader, is followed by another twist you really can’t wrap your head around.

Go for this only if you’re a fan of the franchise. You won’t much care about it otherwise. You will end up chuckling, rather than being very afraid.
-
Wait till this one is out on DVD. Not worth the big screen experience.
-
To use a cliché, not everybody’s cuppa. That being said, you just have to get past the strong local flavors.

They say less is more. For the most part, in this film, it isn’t. This isn’t your average post-apocalyptic/ zombie flick.
-
…the original 1982 film was a cult classic. If you’re going for a redo, at least up the game. Scare-wise, there’s nothing here, we haven’t already seen. Effects-wise, it wildly fluctuates between the truly scary and the laugh-out-loud parts. And more so, toward the latter.

…this film is worth one watch at least. If you’re a geek/nerd/science enthusiast, you’ll be swimming through bones to pick. If visual razmatazz is more up your alley, this is the ticket to ask for this week.

Brave, bold, loud, flashy and occasionally funny, Big Game is largely pretty tame fare.
-
The satire works at its best when Rawal is at the forefront of things. Thankfully, that’s for almost all of the film. Without him, it would’ve been an also-ran.

Despite its best intentions, it is a tedious exercise going through this film. Sara Loren is pretty, but her performance isn’t. The director and writer still probably think we’re stuck in the 60s and 70s. We know it’s stupid to make sweeping statements like “all bar girls are prostitutes” (because it isn’t true), but why does one need to make a film to elucidate that point?
