A engaging sci-fi flick

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2000)

I hope the word-of-mouth gets this movie going, because it's shoddy publicity sure won't. It's an absolutely engaging survival/sci-fi flick, using all the standards of both genres to make for an awesome ride. The audience I saw it with came in expecting a derivative space horror flick. By the end, everyone really got into the action, cheering and screaming along with the film. Watching Riddick alone is worth the price of admission, and you'll know what I mean once you've caught this hopeful sleeper.
