lame lame lame

Rating: 2/10 (24 February 2000)

man, this movie has been hyped non-stop as a breakaway from the "Alien Ripoff Curse" that has plagued sci-fi for the last twenty years, but it's just another on the long list of unoriginal and very unscary throwaways to drop on the heap. i'll admit that vin diesel has a "presence" that might serve him well in future roles, but for cripes sakes IT NEVER ACTUALLY GOT DARK IN THIS MOVIE! whoever said this was based on arthur c. clarke's "nightfall" was sorely mistaken. grrrrrr...
