Sadly Over-hyped
Pretty Good
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
the movie seemed interesting enough from the cover and plot outline. i'm a big horror fan, i even like plenty of bad horror, so i figured it would be worth watching. well, i think that i was wrong ... this movie is pretty terrible. the dialogue really sucks, half the time i could not even pay attention to what was going on, in fact i had no idea what was going on, and i didnt really want to know what was going on (at least it wasnt predictable being that it was so random and weird). yet, it was kindof like a car accident, you cant stop looking at it. my friend took the movie out of the dvd player and threw it across the room cursing it immediately after it ended... maybe that says something about how bad the movie was ...
This movie has gotten a lot of flak, but given the low budget, I think the cast and crew did an exemplary job. It's reminiscent of the Dirty Dozen meets Predator meets Aliens, with a group of futuristic soldiers slated for execution given a last chance at redemption by going on a dangerous mission. Most of the characters are somewhat two-dimensional, but each has a few particular traits that seperate them from the rest of the group. It's a solid movie the whole way through, and might be worth your time to watch.
I saw that this movie was coming on SCI-FI, so being a fan of Corey Feldman movies, I decided to take the time and check it out. Not my best move. Actually it wasn't a bad movie. I was completely able to sit through it. The acting was pretty good, and it had potential, it just had a weak story, and not enough of a plot to back it up. If you are looking for a better movie to entertain you, check out some other space movie, for example any of the Star Wars movies, those, I guarantee you will be entertained, although this movie didn't fail miserably.
Oh come on guys (pammy). I mean, I don't mind these silly little "stick 10 marines in an alien infested ship" scenario but this one really took the biscuit. NOTHING happens. No gore either to make up for the threadbare plot. Look, just go rent "Galaxy of Terror" instead ok?
