    Pure fun B-movie action/horror. Won't win any Oscars but an entertaining film with pretty good SFX.

    Starts well, then sort of falls after a while.

    Trillian St. James: What the hell are these things?
    Finnegan: Real unfriendly.

    A real corny b-movie from Mummy director Stephen Sommers. It is also an R-rated b monster movie, meaning that it has the chance to get a little gory, which is nice.

    The movie does not take itself ser...( read more)iously at all, which helps, plus a surprisingly strong supporting cast of character actors.

    The movie is fairly entertaining to watch, even if it doesn't make much sense at all.

    Pantucci: I think she broke my nose!
    Trillian St. James: Give me a chance and I'll break the rest of your face. Not that anyone would notice.
    Pantucci: What is this about?

    A cross between "Titanic" and "Tremors" with parts of "Aliens" tossed in for good measure. Yet another computer generated effects film and none the worse for that.

    A good horror thriller!

    Some kind of mix between Titanic, Poseidon, Alien, Virus (1999) and Abyss. Definitely a good mix!
    A not bad cast (mostly thanks to the nice and talented Famke Janssen) doesn't waste anything; it's the opposite of course.

    Stephen Sommers brings the ultimate in mindless quality horror entertainment... right?

    45/100
  • September 6, 2009
    The CGI is more than ridiculously over the top but a good sense of humor carries this "worth watching once" popcorn fodder.
  • August 25, 2009
    Good movie to watch when you're looking to entertain yourself with some B-flick action and a few unexpected surprises. Watch with the ladies for some squeals! Dig the effects and the 1 minute orientation on the Chinese-made assault rifle. Ending suggests a sequel, though. Knock, ...( read more)knock! Anything in the works?

    Pretty much the same sort of deal you get from other low-grade monster movies. Not all bad though, Famke Janesson puts in an effort, and there is some cool gore in the way of axe vs head and stuff like that. But its bits like those that you will be waiting up for while you punch yourself during the "suspensful" scenes. Half crap, half good.

    Justins Best Bit: A half digested man falling out of the creatures stomach.
