Good but not brilliant!!! still worthwhile!

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2004)

I, like many people, looked forward to this one. And I liked it, even though it's not as brilliant as ALIENS or Predator 1. But is is also not a disappointment. It has its share of expectation-thrills and a nice share of necessary gore, but not too severe. The 'Ripley'-type female lead character is strong and cool and kicks ass! The special effects are very good indeed! The story has a nice "surprise" at the very end of the film. I also liked the opening and closing credit sequences, which are stylish. (bonus!) Well done! Definitely worthwhile the price at the cinema-box office!!!! Fans should not miss this (even if it is 'good, not brilliant'.)
