Superb set up, stunning delivery.

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2000)

I had been wanting to see this movie from the first time I saw the trailer. Being a HUGE fan of the Alien series, this film seemed right up my alley, and it didn't disappoint. This movie has so much to offer and delivers beautifully. After seeing the movie and giving it some thought, I can't help but rave over the set up. Everyone has a good idea what the film is about from the previews, but getting there is half the fun. The story starts with a bang and continues to build your interest and anticipation. I also have to add, that this is one of those movies that have classic images that will remain in your memory forever. Brief but brilliant shots, camera angles, and stuff that will just stun your senses and give you chills of excitement. And finally, but not in the least, Vin Diesel. Where did this guy come from? He is brilliant in his role, and became the complete anti-hero that you want by your side any time you fight light-fearing alien beings. From beginning to end, this movie has just a perfect feel, and is a great time at the movies. Enjoy it!
