      Terrible film, moral of the story is learn other languages if you’re working in a polyglot place

      The whole first scene of the original was the Norwegian guy screaming about the monster and the yank base chief just shoots him instead of the randomly appearing dog

      The worst part about it is that they had all those things made in practical effects and ready to go before the studio told them to do it in cgi to show off the new tech. You can see behind the scenes where they show off some of the real things.
