Never Lives Up To Potential

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2006)

Indeed, good/great production - excellent idea/plot, however, the final execution and end product are far from the kind of movie this could have been.
It's a SciFi flick in as much as it's set in space and includes some Quantum?/Temporal?/Physics concepts; it's at its heart, a horror film and it never really hits the mark there: it tries to be both cerebral AND Gory at the same time and never makes it in either category: the gore is never fully (pardon the pun) fully fleshed out, and the cerebral component never really kicks in - Anderson throws hints at you and gets your mind started, but then leaves you cold.
Skip it - Watch the Korean film "OldBoy" instead and while it's neither horror nor SciFi - it IS superb and will leave you totally satisfied. :-)
