Ghost Story in Space

Rating: 5/10 (11 January 2002)

This movie has some genuinely creepy moments and great looking set pieces, but it eventually falls victim to the same problem as so many supernatural thrillers -- it doesn't play by any rules. Are our heroes faced with a physical entity? A non-corporeal one? Maybe its all in their heads? Maybe the devil? Do we even care? The movie starts off nicely enough, but soon loses all structure and just degenerates into one weird sequence after another without much rhyme or reason. Its too bad too, as it wasted some good atmosphere and a typically strong performance from Laurence Fishburne. 5/10.
