A good movie for those of us who like to be scared

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2000)

The opening sequence was very good. Lots of action. Then there were many hungry aliens in total darkness, and a group of people tried hard to stay alive. Very good performance by Radha Mitchell (Fry). She's quite cute, so the entire movie I was hoping she wouldn't become someone's dinner. As for Vin Diesel (Riddick), he plays a hardcore criminal who killed many people, but he looks and acts like a teddy bear. Someone you want your daughter to marry. That was a big minus, I think. Also, lots of profanity spoken by small kids. I was sort of offended by that. It wasn't as gross as in Bullworth, but still was absolutely unnecessary. The bottom line: it ain't "Alien," but if you want to see good special effects and get a little scared, and you don't mind mindless profanity, I recommend this movie to you
