Waste of time? Too harsh.

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 1998)

I began watching this film, just as a lark, thinking it would be terrible. I can say it took me by surprise. What started out as a typical Black Hole, Alien, etc (as noted by my fellow reviewer) to me took a completely unexpected turn when we find out where the ship has been. This movie was actually pretty scary. Some of the scenes gave me the willies. I will admit that other scenes were indeed quite unoriginal.
For instance, how many times have we seen the grieving mother or husband follow the obvious illusion of their lost loved one to their doom? Message to the filmmakers: This is a scene that doesn't work anymore- It's L-A-M-E.
But all in all, I wasn't disappointed at all. I expected to be, so maybe that had some bearing on the outcome.
But I have watched it three times now.
Thanks.
