Customer Reviews

An entertaining formula that passes the time well.

What do you want? Everything cannot be new or innovative, and everyone cannot be a superstar. The formula has always worked before. You pick up something in space, and it eats your lunch. I did not see any cardboard-looking props, and the actors do not out-act the characters. Look how far the actors have come. Robin Tunney has grown up and looks cuter than in "The Craft". Lou Diamond Phillips can make more faces (expanded expressions) than he did in "Bats". This movie has all the elements necessary for today's formula space "Who's next to get it?" film. You truly have several chances to say stay in the car (oops, ship).
