Not a superficial movie at all

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2000)

This movie is, unlike any other Hollywood horror movie, has actually a meaning. Beyond the special effects and all this stuff, it shows how technology has become and how it is going to become if it keeps on progressing without boundaries. In fact, science is referred to as "evil" and as Hell. It controls the mind of the people and it knows their worst fears. This movie is a reaction to science. The fact that the spaceship is like hell and that the engineer becomes possessed by it and how it knows what each one of the crew members fears the most proves my point. The physician who created the ship is shown to only care about the success of its mission and totally ignores and denies human reactions and wellbeing. I think this is to say that, wait a minute, we've gone too far. We've crossed our limits. He broke the relativity concept which means that he broke the rules. Just like neuroscience and genetical engineering and all this stuff. It should be stopped because in the end it's going to turn against us as if it has a spirit, just like the ship has a spirit. I can go on and on about this movie. I give an A+ to the writer and I don't really care about the special effects and costumes and stuff like that. But I think that the actors did their job. They were very good and convincing. They really showed the relationship between the scientist and the rest of the people who don't really understand what he's trying to explain and who just want to survive.
Finally, it is not a stupid horror movie at all, it's worth seeing.
