I was positively surprised by this movie. I would not say that it is a great movie but it is definitely worth watching. The movie plays on the classical horror elements with its dark and claustrophobic setting, horrific things that go bump in the dark and some rather psychopathic behavior for added flavor.

I would say that the story is somewhat original. Sure if you take each element of the story individually then most of them have been done before but the way they are tied together and with the additional twists I would say that the story did indeed surprise me somewhat.

I cannot say that the movie kept me on the edge by its horror qualities but then, after having seen enough various horror movies you kind of get too used to them to be scared anymore. It has its share of nasty creatures and some blood splatter to go with them. The monsters, the effects and the dark and gritty scenery works quite well although some of the areas of the ship seemed to be designed more for cinematic effect than having any logical or practical purpose on a spaceship.

It is somewhat difficult to write a review of this movie because much of it qualities and originality lies in the various twists, some predictable and some less so, in the story and a spoiler would definitely ruin this movie.

The acting is on par with the movie. Not great but decent enough. Both Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster performed their roles quite well.

As I wrote above, definitely a movie worth watching, preferably sometime after the sun has set and the younger kids have gone to bed.

After abusing and overpopulating the Earth, humanity's last gasp at survival is a two-hundred-year trek to uncharted paradise amongst the stars. But while the last survivors of our race wait in cryogenic storage for landfall, gruesome monsters have unexpectedly taken over the deck. This really had the makings of an entertaining little romp - not quite smart enough to be Alien, nor eccentric enough to be Event Horizon - but it falls flat on its face in the follow-through.

It's color-by-numbers in all the worst ways, stealing liberally from dozens of sources and robbing them of the intangibles that made them worth taking in the first place. The dialog and acting are downright atrocious, equally pale impersonations of brighter pictures. Dennis Quaid, no stranger to sci-fi stinkbombs, takes the lead as one of the ship's off-kilter captains, and promptly hams it up with an awful Harrison Ford impression. Behind the scenes, the editing is aggressively irritating, confronting every tricky scene with so many jump cuts, I felt close to an epileptic seizure. Even the film's climactic twist, revealed like it were the mother of all mind-blowers, is telegraphed at least an hour earlier and whiffs like a kid at his first tee-ball practice. So much energy and enthusiasm, but nothing more to show for it than a gust of air and a loose sense of embarrassment. Decent creature effects and a strong claustrophobic atmosphere, but that's all I'll give it.

Hard to understand what is going on in this movie. There's a lot of whispering so it's hard to understand them even with the volume up. I had to watch this movie about 5 times to really understand the movie. It's dumb, but the creatures were pretty sweet looking though.
