Potential Lost

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2000)

This film started with a decent premise of the marooned ship. It quickly lost its potential by falling into the same old trap that if you can't be original, don't bother being creative. The creatures were mediocre, the acting was atrocious, and the plot was weak. I did, however, think that the movie was effective. The point of a movie is to make you empathize with the characters, and as one of my friends pointed out, we, like the characters in the movie, were hoping that we also would soon see light. Personally, I think that the next time someone wants to rip off "Alien" he or she should have the aliens win outright and kill everyone in the movie.
