A great combination of science fiction and horror all in one movie.

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2011)

This is without a doubt one of the best science fiction/horror films i have ever seen. There is a lot of good character development, good acting, the pacing is very well done and there are a lot of good thrills and chills throughout. This is a very underrated movie and deserves more praise than it already has. This movie pays homage to some of the older science fiction and horror films from the past, including the Shining, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Haunting and Hellraiser. This movie has a very dark atmosphere and feel to it. I saw it for the first time when it came out, and it scared the hell out of me. Paul Anderson did a really good job setting the tone for this film and he did really well with the direction. Laurence Fishburne did a good job playing the captain of the search and rescue team. And hands off to Sam Neill for his portrayal as the guy who built the ship. If you have not seen this movie yet, go rent it or buy it from your local video store. You will not be disappointed. It is definitely worth a watch.
