great story, too bad about the science.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2001)

All in all this was a good, suspenseful science fiction film - perfect sets, good costumes. I loved the interaction between Vin Diesel's character and the rest, esp. Fry and the Imam. Very believeable. The aliens were very well done and plausible.
However, planets revolve around suns, not the other way around. This misconception was disappointing, though it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the film. I reccomend it. Eight out of Ten.
