6/10
Author: Mitch Brown from Los Angeles

Although not quite as bad as most critics thought, this was a pretty bad movie. It looked great. All the cool camera angles, and style shots were very good. However, the story really sucked. I usually like Weaver. She is a very good actress. But, in this one, she just seemed to sleep through the movie.

If you want to see a GOOD Alien movie, see the second one, Aliens. If you want to see a good David Fincher movie, see either Se7en or Fight Club. Both are much better.
