Glad I Saw it For Free!

Rating: 3/10 (26 October 2000)

I'm going to make this short and quick since many of the other reviewers made many of the same points that I would. This film had sparked my interest from the moment the teasers and trailers came out. Finally, it came to my University where I can watch it for free...and thank goodness it was free.
There were many promising characters and a very promising plot. However, this sci-fi movie fell into the hole of a horrible 'B' movie. The special effects were great and the action was decent. The problem lies in the badly developed characters...except for Vin Diesel's. There seems to be a character to fit every niche of society. Dialogue between the characters seemed to be forced and rather boring...once again the exception being Diesel.
Then there is the over simplified plot. There is absolutely no thought required to view this film. As long as one can tell the difference between a human and an alien, you're all set. Also, if you are looking for a good movie to give you that little scare...don't bother to look here. The most frightening thing about this movie is that it did so well in theatres.
