Really looking forward this...Alien meets Event Horizon apparently...'bout time we had seriosly creepy sc-fi again.

Lets hope its not the disaster Solaris was though.

What? Solaris a disaster, really? How so? If an alien came down to earth, I was appointed film-liason and was teaching this alien about sci-fi films it's one of the three or four I would show him/her/it (along with sunshine, dark city, Gattaca)

Lets agree to differ...IMDB voters (29,000+ of them) give it 6.2 out of 10 and I feel they've seriously over-scored it.

Back on track though...

The clip I've linked to doesn't give anything away at all - in fact I'm led to believe that the film leads you down one path only at the end to reveal itself as something completely different.

Enjoy.


ETA: I caught the 1st TV advert for this tonight and it does come across as remarkably like Event Horizon.

Damn - this review is scathing...

Anybody going to see it this weekend?

Saw it last night and...well...its no Event Horizon or Alien

7 out of 10 (7.5 if I'm feeling generous)

Think 'The Descent' in Space with a couple of very minor twists along the way.

Only 1 jumpy bit though with the rest being more Tension related than out-and-out shocks.

Worth a watch if you're at a loose end.

I was surprised how empty the cinema was though considering the National TV Advertising campaign for it - and I went to the megaplex theatre in Crawley for the (main evening) 9pm showing. Only about a dozen people in for it.

So you don't feel cheated out of your 7 quid and it's worth a watch then?

Well lets just say that there have been many times when I've paid MORE and been served-up LESS.

Yeah - worth a watch - but don't recommend it too heartily to your mates.
