Not bad, actually......., 17 August 2003
Author: (sketchy)

I expected this too be a cheap Tv-quicky, but actually, it wasn't too bad. I'll start with saying the good things about it: The special effects are great, and all the creatures looked very cool, performances were adequate. the cons: by the numbers characters and plot, a script that seemed to fall apart by the finale third. I'd recommend it if you are a FX wiz with some time to kill. Great effects, okay acting, and fair enough direction.
