The Good & Bad Of This Austalian Alien-Ripoff

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2006)

Very good special effects, decent sound an interesting Alien-ripoff sci-fi/horror story are the good points of this movie. The bad parts are the too profane, unlikeable characters. Unlike Alien, where the evil creature is inside the ship, here the evil creatures are outside the ship.
In this overly politically-correct Australian story, our "hero" doesn't believe in God, the lead woman is a tough-talking (are all the f-words really necessary to "prove" that?) and, of course, the only nice person is the Muslim.
For tenseness, this movie succeeds with a numer of spots that have you on the edge of your seat. Some of the scenes are jaw-dropping amazing with some great visuals. If they had better characters, this would have been a "keeper."
