Theatrical report

A sad rip off of Alien, but aren't they all?

There are some great special effects. But there are more clichés than effects, so you know there's a problem, and that doesn't include holes in the plot that you could fly a spaceship through.

Bitch list:

there are almost no lights in the spaceship
the terminals are ergonomically incorrect
there are sharp pointy things for no reason at all
there are weird shaped walls and endless corridors for no reason at all
the executive officer comes up with the solution right at the beginning of the film when no-one else even knows what's going on
if it's a United States Aerospace Command ship why do half the crew speak with non-American accents?
how come the African-American guy is a hip funster (or are all African-Americans like that?)
why is there an unreasonably cute marine who gets injured and has to take his clothes off?
how come the blind baddie can shoot one good guy but misses the other?
since when did black holes open a door to Hell?

(That last bitch gives away a plot surprise, but hey, you'll be surprised to find that there was a plot anyway.)

The dialogue, acting, design, direction, and story are mediocre at best. If you are a die hard SF thriller aficionado, then see it by all means, but don't blame me if you want your money back.
