Movie review - "Spectral" (2016) **

Okay knock off of Aliens which could have used closer study of how that film did it - here it's hard to tell characters apart, they don't seem to have any relationships, there's no human villain we can attach, no decent twists, the sense of the world isn't as strong.

It has some good production values - it looks expensive - and actors, and the action scenes are quite well done. It lacks star power - James Dale and Emily Mortimer don't even have say Dolph Lungren/Tanya Roberts class (probably better actors though). Max Martini and Bruce Greenwood are always good in this kind of film. But honestly I'm wondering why they made it.
