A good Thriller..not quite a horror flick

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2000)

I was a bit dubious going into the movie, the ads on tv sounded good, but it had a lot of hype, which I feared would lead to an anticlimatic ending..ie a mediocre movie. Now if you can stomache the many gaping plot holes and quite a bit suspension of disbelief ..which I can....It was really pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised though.
Overall, It was more of a thriller and action/adventure rather than a horror flick. It kept me on the edge of my seat with a few eeks for good measure, but when i left the movie theater, I didn't have to go sit in a well lit cafe if you know what I mean.
General Opinion: Not as good/scarey as Alien, Not as creepy as Event Horizon, but not half bad either.
Lasting impression: Van diesel's Riddick makes the movie.
