Starring: Sam Neil, Laurence Fishburne, Joely Richardson
Running Time: 1h 36min
In a mix of horror and sci-fi, this film tries to give the Jacob's Ladder treatment to Alien. With only a little success. There is suspense and some scary "what the hell is going on!!" moments, mostly conceived by quick cuts, roaming cameras, and eiree lighting. The premise itself is an excellent idea but they forgot to give it an ending. A truly satisfying ending would have made this film a franchise ready event. The cast doesn't get to show a mix of emotions, which is truly necessary for this film to pull off its grand idea. The character elements are given straight up and don't deviate enough to give the film the needed impact of what such an actual occurrence would. If this review sounds cryptic it's in order to not give away the ship's origins.
Grade: C+
