An extremely good film.

Rating: Null/10 (22 November 1999)

This a very good movie. It creates a wonderful atmosphere. It's very creepy and scary. Plus it also gives one a feel akin to claustrophobia. You get the feeling that everything, the ship, fate, nature, EVERYTHING, is closing in on you and that everything is against you. It also gives one a wonderful sense of isolation, that you are completely alone and that there is no one that can come along and help. The people who made this film said that they were trying to duplicate those two elements in the manner that Alien did. I think that in some ways (particularly for the claustrophobic feel) they surpassed Alien. All films lose something going from the big screen to the small screen. But if you missed this on the big screen, you missed out. You fully feel the atmosphere it creates when watched in a movie theatre. You only get a small fraction of it watching the movie on TV.
The film is also good from a psychological view point, as we see the characters reaction to the experiences they are going through, and how this affects their relationship with each other.
My only problem is it does display a little too much gore, but if you can bare sitting through the gory parts, you'll experience a great film.
