A great copy-cat movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 1999)

This is a good sc-fi thriller. Sure it mimics such other great films of the genre. Namely "Alien", "Aliens", and "Black Hole", but it does it well enough and finds a niche all its own. The visuals are very impressive and the acting is great. Seeing Sam Neil working with Laurence Fishborne is wonderful. They have a good banter between them. The design of the ship is very creative and the design of the warp drive will send shivers down your spine. The directing pace is very fast, and spins around a lot. Overall it is a good movie with some unique scares. Sure the comparisons between this and other movies of the genre are there, but, this movie gives you enough new stuff to balance it out. At least a must rental.
