Very competent Sci-Fi film

Rating: 6/10 (24 May 2001)

The Good Stuff:
The editor not showing too much stuff to build up the suspense. Complex, 3-dimensional characters. The way we learn that not all the characters are what, at first glance they might seem. The quite realistic crashlanding. Excellent effects! (Richard Riddick's first escape has to be seen, yet it is subtle).
The Bad Stuff:
The editor not showing too much stuff to build up the suspense. The design of the aliens. The cheesy catchphrase at takeoff. ("We have to say goodbye".)
The Verdict:
A most competent film that entertains and keeps you on the edge of the seat and guessing more than once.
