When paleontologist Kate Lloyd travels to an isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime, she joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison.

Viewing Notes
Was super curious about this film b/c I had heard so much negative WOM going into it. And honestly this isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be based on what I heard. Actually it’s not bad and I rather enjoyed it as a prequel to the far superior film. Sure, the VFX are not good but the characters and mystery are fine. I’d totally watch this again esp. for Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who carries a heavy load here and does a marvelous job doing so.
