Mount Adams

I'm a fan of all kinds of movies, and I've watched -- and enjoyed! -- my fair share of bad movies. This was not a bad movie. In fact, it was not a movie at all. You see, in order or me to consider this a movie, something would have had to happen. I mean, like, anything. I kept waiting. There were signs throughout that it might turn into a movie. A couple of scenes seemed like they might be going somewhere interesting, and I thought -- OK, now maybe we have a story developing. But no, not really. Even the presence of certain basic sci-fi tropes -- spooky aliens and mysterious, unexplained phenomena -- couldn't push this thing into "movie" territory. If it was so-bad-it-was-good, that would have been one thing. But, sadly, it was just... lacking.

In the end, it feels like everyone was trying hard -- the acting wasn't awful, the fx weren't worth complaining about. But, my god, there just wasn't any kind of story here.
