Slightly bland, but watchable

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2003)

This movie has all the characteristics of a good sci-fi horror flick: good cast good story and good special effects. Its plot runs parallel with other sci-fi greats such as The Abyss and the Aliens movies. The acting was very good, however, this film does somewhat convey a undertone of being thrown together as it progresses. The most likely culprit is the director. Its almost like they did not want to make it predictable, to which they didn't, but in the process of doing so they let a good starting storyline fall flat. I can't understand why some movie makers do not spend more time developing their storyline into a more palatable movie. I guess they just cant see past the dollar signs! This could have been a great movie rivaling other sci-fi classics if only a little more time was spent. I give it a 5.5 out of 10
