The Forgotten (2004)
Good effects, weak story
The movie began very interesting but with every minute the whole story of it became worse. The first major step in the downward spiral was the alien theory, followed by a second big step when I realized there are aliens responsible for the abductions. I really like Star Trek and Star Wars, but in this case the alien plot is the worst choice. The story could've lived way better with a secret government agency or something like that.
Ignoring the bad story, the movie was saved by some really well done effects. The car crash gave me a "Whoa!" effect, same goes for the scene were the first person was slurped into the sky. Unpredictable effects and scenes like these make movies interesting.
Raptor (2001)
ha ha!
I bought a DVD collection (9 movies for 10 Euros) where this one was included. It turned out to be the "uncut version" whatever that means. Beside the low average quality and short scenes there was one thing that was really strange - the soft sex scene. It started with a close up of 2 bigger breasts. After around 2 minutes I had an expression on my face which fitted the term "boooooooooooooring!" quite perfectly. 7.5 minutes of not even bouncing concrete like tits (at this point the term breasts is a bad choice) is far beyond from entertainment.
The rest of the movie was more like "people aren't /that/ stupid, are they?"
Lucky me, the DVD was scratched and I got my money back.
