    I mean alright it's not the greatest film ever, but the hatred aimed at it would make you think it's a total turkey, it is what it is, the effects are cool, lots of non cgi monsters, the story is serviceable, the acting, whilst certainly not oscar worthy, is ok (with the exception of Sutherland's accent, whats going on there), the pacing is ok, I just don't get it.
    It definitely deserves more than 4.5, granted not much more, but out of ten I'd give it a 6 🙂
    Buuuuuuuuuung

        It's flawed but enjoyable, and certainly delivers what it sets out to deliver. Sutherland's worst acting performance ever mind you, and it was one of 1999's biggest box-office disasters.
        Stop saying things!!

            I'd agree with you - it has its flaws, to be sure, but it still provides some adequate entertainment.
            What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

              The 90s were a time for utterly despising the kind of fun and visually pleasing movies that'd be liked or loved today. This especially applies to sci-fi hybrids. To name a few:

              • Virus
              • Wild Wild West
              • Lost in Space
              • Bio-Dome
              • Lawnmower Man
              • Village of the Damned
              • Waterworld and The Postman
              • Solo
              • Screamers
              • Toys
                All 90s sci-fi hybrids, all decent-to-good movies which some people will swear are the worst wastes ever spawned, usually for no articulated reason.

                "Screamers" was amazing, I can't remember the last time I was expecting so little and got so much out of watching a film. It covers well-traveled territory but does it in a way where it manages to come off unique instead of cliche. Highly underrated.

                  Underrated by at least 0.5, I gave it a 7 too.

                    Agree with the 6 rating 🙂 There are plenty of direct to video releases that deserve a 4, to be sure. This isn't one of them by a long shot.


                    You have my word as an inveterate cheat.

                      It's terrible and completely derivative, and the actors are slumming. There's no energy to it.

                          Donald Sutherland was way over the top at the beginning
