OK for sci-fi fans

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2008)

It's still an OK movie, if you like science-fiction films. Arnold Schwarzenegger, although much too massive to be a normal person, at least plays one here. He's actually a little charming, and actually can act a little. (Which makes me think that acting isn't really that hard) Sharon Stone was at the height of her beauty and looks great. The real kudos go to Rachel Ticotin. It's too bad that I haven't seen more of her over the years.
There is an interesting plot, even if full of holes. The special effects are everywhere, and although some seem a little cheesy now, I'm sure that at the time they were first-rate. Many of the effects are excessively disgusting, but this was obviously by design.
