surprisingly good sci-fi

Rating: 7/10 (25 October 2000)

There seems to have been a lack of good sci-fi films lately, and when I went to see this one I expected more tripe. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this movie for its interesting plot, its special effects, and its interesting characters and their interactions. But if you don't like movies that create suspense and then have monsters jump out at you, you shouldn't see this movie. I generally don't like that kind of movie, but this one did it well enough to stomach.
