"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" just opened this weekend. However, I can't make it to the theaters at the moment so I decided to watch the next best thing. That's right. You guessed it..."Creature", featuring the great Klaus Kinski!

I was mesmerized by the exciting story that features an alien that kills off the crew of a downed spaceship by mimicking its dead members. Oh sure, it sounds like it could be kind of like "Alien" or sort of like "The Thing". But the deal is, it's so rotten that you have to really work to see any resemblance to what looks to be a clear attempt to steal every idea possible from those two classics.

I'm not entirely sure what the creature looked like. To say it was unconvincing would be a massive understatement. I will say that it left no impression that it could have been intelligent enough to manipulate, much less hide from the crew. Even though that crew had to have been one the stupidest collection of space travelers ever assembled.

The only bright spot to me was some assorted practical effects shots of the spacecraft and some decent views of Saturn and its moon, Titan.

I always like to mention what I thought of the ending of a particular movie, but I can't remember the conclusion of "Creature" even though I just finished watching it about 3 hours ago. I'm figuring I wasn't thrilled with it.
