average sci-fi flick, could be better

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2003)

i watched this movie in the midst of my finals cramming... which is probably a mistake... because about 40 minutes into the movie i was already glancing impatiently at my biology book wondering why i picked this movie as my study break... and thinking how my time could be so much better spent reading and doing problem sets.
well... the movie was pretty exciting and intense near the end. the beginning was somewhat slow... there wree some parts that were annoying... like why did they have to make Fry die at the end? it could have been a happy ending if she made it. also i didn't get why the raptors started killing each other (when their blue blood started dripping all over the place)
i think they could have developed the characters better. i didn't feel much sympathy for any of the main characters. i especailly hated that Johns guy. therefore, i don't feel much urge to watch the sequels (The Chronicles of Riddick).
if you're bored... or a fan of vin diesel, then this movie is worth watching. it's not that bad... Practical Magic, however, is the most worthless piece of crap and is the baseline by which i measure all other movies.
i give this movie 6/10.
