Vin Diesel gives a good performance here

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2010)

To start with, I'd like singling out Vin Diesel because he gives a stand-out performance here. Most notably in the warm-intimate to cold-interrogating scenes. He commands the screen when it comes down to it. Even in his short monologues, he holds your attention with paralyzing coolness. I would not say that the special effects to be excellent throughout, but there sure are times of beauty and artistry. Such as the Landscape-like scenes of the alien world; and then there are minor things that don't get much credit but add to the visual recipe of this marvelous movie. I enjoyed the scariness of this film and the science fiction idea; but it is the character development that is the most impressive and lasting element of this film. It took some time for me to watch this film (A&E not the movies) and it is one of my favorites. Again, it has strong character development, SOME good special effects, and overall it is a Very good movie that works.
