best sci-fi of the year

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2000)

Without a doubt the best sci-fi pic of the new year...no stars with the minor exception of Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan) - but a well executed, sharply written, decently acted and more important - convincing example of good filmmaking. The creatures harken toward Alien and the directing makes sure you don't always see what's coming next. To be honest...this is much more of a tie-in to the Aliens series than Alien Resurrection ever was. Vin Diesel is most likely the next great action hero - and by all appearances - he's got a brain on him. Thank the maker! Excellent
