Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

First things first: We don't have a first rate movie here. However, it was not as much a turkey as I had hoped/feared. Expecting the awful, with all systems set "prepared to fast forward", I rather enjoyed it. Acting was fine overall, especially Michael Tierrault. The characters could have been deeper, better presented, which is a problem with diving head first into the problem without knowing the characters first.Of course it has more than a little in common with Alien (although slightly less than I feared), but even more it reminds me of the Norwegian TV series "Blindpassasjer". Oh yes, the special effects (which are sometimes less than stellar) stray into some other movies as well.What the movie boils down to is a surprisingly clear message: Don't stray from the rules! This is a rather unusual message in a movie today. Movies almost always praise the rule breaker, the rebel who dares go his/her own way. The crew members break the rules over and over, they are ruled by emotions rather than facts and logic, and the alien gets the advantage from that.Overall, weak but not unwatchable, but by all means don't expect more than a B movie!

This is like an Alien rip off ... And badly done at that. Bought the DVD as I loved Christian Slater, but oh darn how far he has fallen. Such a shame wish I had my 90 odd minutes back ..... I really did want to enjoy this movie, I wish I had but I am sitting here typing a bad review rather than watch the film ... Wonder what that says .. IMDb wants me to write 10 lines of text before I can write a review,, wonder what that says ... Freaking annoying if you ask me.

First off, there is no argument to be made that this was anything other than a bad movie. It's hard not to mention the use of common book lights as communication devices or the blatant use of miniatures for all exterior shots, as many before me already have. I was somewhat surprised that Godzilla (or Space Godzilla) did not come to finish the destruction of the moonbase after the meteor storm. The interiors were oddly typical for a sci-fi film, which was somewhat out of place.No one in this movie deserved to survive - Sorry Christian. These people made such textbook awful decisions throughout the movie that it was impossible to root for any of them. I would not trust a single one of them to feed my dog while I was on vacation, much less the lot of them to man a zillion-dollar moonbase. For a room that was allegedly on lockdown, the med bay was accessed repeatedly, and NO ONE WOULD CLOSE THE DOOR, or even MONITOR IT. Have none of these folks ever seen a sci-fi movie? Also - and I've not seen anyone address this yet - why did they think it would be a good idea to access Bruce's logs for ideas to defeat the creature? I mean, how successful was he? And did not the faux Bruce seem a little lucid and well-groomed to be legitimate? That said, I really enjoyed it. It was a perfect subject for my regular Bad Movie Night with Friends, and it did not disappoint.

it is more enjoyable to COMPLAIN about this movie... than to WATCH it! =====The only reason I do not give this a blatant rating of ZERO, is I feel sorry for the actors and investors (if there WERE investors). I swear to the gods above, my own very very FIRST action, (after viewing this movie) was to get UP... go to my blog, and write a scathing review.I did not hesitate, I did not "Pass Go" I did not "collect 200 dollars"...tho I must admit I do believe the acting budget was probably 200 dollars. Please see my own review on hub pages under the name/ID StvRich at StvRich.hubpages.comI am dead serious.I even appreciate the "Bad" Movies produced by this genre' I am literally SORRY that Christian Slaters name is on this.Why?it's more enjoyable to COMPLAIN about this movie,~than to watch it. -Good Lord, help us.One of the "creators" of this fine piece of Sci-Fi torture, claims to have worked upon several of George Lucas's movies (sets and cameras), yet, I feel more certain he must have merely been delivering SANDWICHES, to those sets.I have personally only -WATCHED- George Lucas's movies,... and I can probably produce a better movie than this.
