Not bad, but hardly original.

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2001)

I saw this film on DVD last night. In short, I thought it was pretty good, but not exactly original. The basic plot has been done many times before (e.g. Alien/Aliens). It had a number of good points. The special effects were pretty good, even though it is apparent that the CGI animators STILL haven't quite got the hang of colouring and lighting - some of the creatures look out of place due to the mismatch of colouring.
It also had a few technical flaws, such as the double-ringed gas-giant planet (which I'm sure is not possible), and also the fact that the double-eclipse to block the light from both light-sources would be unlikely to occur every 22 years - it would happen on a much larger time scale.
Aside from these technical flaws, though, it was a moderately scary film, although I have seen much worse.
In all, I'd give it 7/10.
