I found it engaging.  Even the short homage to "It's Alive" was

guide to the adventurers, even the Leo DiCaprio (sort of) clone who
gets attacked early on.  And for once, although there was a
"government conspiracy" it didn't dominate the film, there was no evil
leader pontificating on things here.  The fact the American audience
didn't really like it doesn't surprise me, since it didn't end well
and we know Americans (pathetically) need their precious happy
endings.

I was sorely disappointed with this and had no sympathy for any of the
characters.

I had sympathy for the Russian. He was just trying to run a small
business.
