Nice copy of Alien"

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2013)

This is the best movie of Paul WS Anderson – the guy responsible for such classics as Mortal Kombat " , "Alien versus Predator" and few other stinkers . It's obviously inspired by "Alien" with a little bit of "Hellraiser" and "Solaris" . It's a really nice movie that makes you wonder what happened with Anderson later . Why he became a creator of such crap movies ?
Good performances by Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill. All the crew members are recognizable and likable . There is a traditional black guy-who-is –comic-relief and you know what ? He's actually funny. The art-direction is beautiful in some places (the chamber). I really liked one camera angle when the camera spins around – it looked really cool. The special effects hold up good after all those years.
The movie scares quite nicely the audience with some disturbing images that won't leave or head for some time. It's a fun sci-fi horror movie that doesn't add anything new to the genre , yet provides a solid entertainment.
I give it 6/10.
