Best 90's action based Sci-Fi film I've seen.

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2009)

Normally I've never been a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, not that I mind the actor, I've just never liked the type of films he's in. But this is definitely one of the best Arnold Schwarzenegger films I've ever seen, he really should stick to Sci-Fi. Michael Ironside and Ronny Cox are always great, but they both always seem to play the bad guys, but they're good at it so why not.
I was a little sceptical about this movie although I had decided to see it, but when I say the name Rob Bottin the genius behind the special affects for John Carpenters "the Thing" (one of my favourite movies by the way)I couldn't wait to see what this movie had in store. And it delivered. For a movie from 1990, the special effects are amazing, maybe slightly dated, but who cares. Also Jerry Goldsmith also known for the Star Trek movies musical scores, just makes this movie even better.
The story itself, has so many twists and turns, but is still understandable and it is always filled with action. It keeps you exited and intrigued all the way to the end. Except for having the typical 90's action movie feel to it, with a lot of shooting and explosions much of the time, this movie will please both action and Sci-Fi fans.
I give this movie a 10/10.
