"One rule - stay in the light!" a great sci-fi/horror!

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2002)

Now this is more like it!! Who needs a ludicrously high budget to get the desired effect eh? This film has everything you'd want from a sci-fi. And everything you'd want from a horror. And there's more besides great SFX and scary moments, there are great three dimensional performances from every cast member, amazing cinematography, and a cracking score which sets the mood of the film! Oh yeah, and of course there's Vin Diesel...
He's tipped to be the new Bruce Willis? Yep, I can see where that comes from. He prefers a black vest though instead of Brucie's trademark white! Anyway, judging by this film alone, Vin Diesel should be going on to bigger and better things, mind you, it's hard to see how he can better this film - he's electrifying in it!! (Fast and the Furious? o.k. I just made myself look stupid! He'll be BIG sometime soon. Is that better?)
This film is a must see for anyone who likes suspense, shocks, great SFX, superb and controlled performances, and a good plot scenario. If that's not your kinda thing, then why are you on this page?!
The usual plot - spaceship crash lands on alien planet, and survivors try to find a way off the planet. But, they encounter aliens which try to kill every single one of them! So, we're on familiar territory. This film gives the sci-fi horror a new lease of life though, and it's mainly due to the new alien species that are in the film. They are really scary!
You know what, I cannot be bothered to write a long review on this film, so what I suggest you do is go and see this film. That's it. That's my advice to you. It's as simple as the plot - GO. AND. SEE. THIS. FILM. There!
Perfect 10!
Enjoy!
