And also, I think the movie really could have done WITHOUT the attempts at character development of the ship's crew. It didn't really have any immediate impact on what the main characters did, so only really made the story a bit longer.
And yes, I thought the movie dragged on a bit.
They could have shortened it by like half an hour or something.

Agree completely. The crew's stories were inconsequential, and sometimes downright cheesy, like the relationship between the boy and the black guy. The only story thread developed on the ship that matters is the one bewteen Drsicoll and Anne. Even then, they probably could have just done one of those Indiana Jones style travel shots where they just draw a red line from the departure point to the destination.

And about the special effects, I found them to be really well done. Especially the work on Kong. His facial expressions and fur were very realistic. I mean everything was thought of except the dingleberries.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
