Completely Disappointing *spoiler*

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2002)

***Spoiler ahead***
This movie was so disappointing that I'm actually mad that almost 2 hours of my life were waisted on it.
For starters, the pilot should NEVER have survived the entry into the planet. She's entering a foreign atmosphere with red heat completely enveloping the ship. The window breaks and glass shatters all over her. There's no air, she recieves NO injuries, and she survived a super heated entry. I know it's sci-fi, but COME ON!
Complaint #2- We never figure out why all these different types of people are on this ship together.
#3- It took an HOUR to even get to the aliens. Even then, there were only 2 or 3 decent scenes with them.
#4- What's up with making Jack a girl? If they wanted her to be a female, they should have kept her as Jackie from the beginning. This revelation came out of nowhere, had no point, and gave no positive contribution to the movie whatsoever.
#5- The pilot, Carolyn, used a LOT of foul language. I wasn't offended by it, but it looked COMPLETELY forced. She does NOT look like somebody with a mouth like that. They would have been a lot better off if they either 1) Left the profanity out of her dialogue or 2) Had a "harder" looking woman play her role. It was ridiculous.
#6- The ending was uneventful & very disappointing.
I could go on, but I wont bore you. I WILL say that Vin Diesel was OK and the lighting was good- it reminded me of "Traffic".
