Sci-fi fans will love it

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2001)

If you read the comments, you'll see that this is a "love it or hate it" flick. If you're a sci-fi fan who liked Alien, you should love it. With the exception of the Matrix and Star Wars, science fiction just doesn't get any better than this. Packed with tension and not completely predictable, I found it scary and not at all boring. Clearly some deep thought went into the morphology and habits of the aliens. The main human characters were more than one dimensional stereotypes, as you get peeks at details of their personalities that conflict with your first impressions of them. But clearly some of you will hate it, so if you don't like sci-fi or didn't like Alien, steer clear.
