What a massive disappointment this was. I haven't watched any of the previous series but had heard only very good things about it so when I heard that Jodie Foster was starring in this latest effort I thought I was on to a winner. I was wrong sadly.
It starts off well but gradually goes down hill with long stretches of nothing happening. The main story concerns the death of several researchers found naked and frozen to death and this is soon linked to the murder of a woman. What follows is some tripe with spiritual overtones which makes no sense at all. The acting is OK, not as great as I'd hoped and quite frankly I was glad when it ended. So what was wrong overall?
The ridiculous, nay ludicrous premise that every single one of the researcher's would suddenly become homicidal maniacs.
The fact that said researcher's would then leave the body in order for it to be found by the police. Why? What possible reason would they do that?
What was it with the dancing man with long hair pointing the way to a body? Why the hell was he doing that stupid dance?
Where the hell was Navarro when she kept wandering in clear blue skies and how the hell did she get back to Jodie Foster in time to pull her from the ice?
What was the reason for the ghostly apparitions? Pointless.
And don't get me started on the vigilante natives when they stormed the research station.
This tried so hard to redeem itself in the final episode by desperately trying to be like 'The Thing' but failed miserably.
