Not quite there

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2000)

Two of my favorite actors (Lawrence Fishburne and Sam Neill) in a sci-fi movie? I had to watch that.
First impression: a good plot that could lead to a good climax. -It didn't.
Second impression:A horror movie set in space. -I was scared in some scenes but mostly because of the cheap "horror creeping behind actor when not paying attention" gimmick. I will not be scared the second time watching the movie.
Third impression: Trying to get some feel from Alien2 with the tough soldiers etc. -Doesn't make it.
Fourth impression: Gore. -Mundane. I mean Dante imagined such Hell hundreds of years ago.
Finally if we exclude the excellent room of the space drive, the rest of the sets looked a little on the cheap side.
Not one of my favorite movies despite the high expectations from Fishburne and Neill.
