Decent effort - watered down. Spoiler warning!

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2004)

I enjoyed it about as much as I expected I would. After all, it is the 7th in a series, so to speak, and that doesn't usually mean Oscar-time. It seemed to be a very diluted version of a potentially rich story. So many myths, so little explanation or time. Also, I must admit, I get tired very quickly by movies that take place in that level of darkness. Couldn't we just suspend "reality" in order to see what's going on? Really enjoyed Sanaa Lathan's performance as our newest "Alien heroine." Feel a little dumb that it took me so long to see the queen vs. heroine fight coming a la Aliens I & II. Doubt I'll see this again until it hits late nite premium channels, as I don't think I'll care to add it to by DVD library.
