"Aliens" in a parka

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2000)

I enjoyed this movie very much, even though I don't think its particularly original or frightening. The cast is interesting and after a slow start, it moves along pretty well. Kurt Russell and Keith David have a great moment at the end and the finale is jolting. I enjoyed John Carpenter's work with that kid with the knife, to be honest. But I understand this was his chance to deliver in a big studio movie, only to be out-done by "E.T". Talk about bad timing!
