Quite simply one of the great science fiction films

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2004)

This is film is nearly perfect. It is so tightly woven and directed that it is nearly flawless. I rarely watch films more than once and see this everytime it comes on TV. I've now ordered my own copy. I also like the use of principles from Greek tragedy. The hero...the woman who attempts to jettison passengers...is damned by that decision. No matter how much good she does to compensate for that one, tragic act, she's doomed. Riddick's character as the anti-hero is also very interesting. And, of course, the whole thing takes place essentially in one day. Performances were excellent and the suspense perfectly paced. And, it actually forced me to use some brain cells.
