Review:
First of let me say the rating is perfect for this movie and I don't usually say that. The violence is not that bad, although there is a scene only a few minutes in that is kind of gross for those with a weak stomach. But the sex in this movie is really the only reason this movie is rated R. You see the breasts of both female members of the crew several times, as well as the butts of the males. Some nudity in this movie was understandable for what was happening while at other times it seemed completely unnecessary and only put it to keep the attention of the audience.

That being said the storyline is great, aside from a slight hole that you think about more once the movie ends, and the acting was great from the actors/actresses who were apart of the movie. At the time the movie came out I knew James Spader from Stargate and this movie just made me love his acting more. He stole the show with his bad boy turned good character. While I had no idea who Peter F was at the time I remember thinking he was a great bad guy and watching the movie again I stick with my original thoughts. Peter F was a great villian as he can have the cute innocent, what me?, look while at the same time hold an air of mystery which can change in a second to someone dark and creepy.

This movie may be good for people who like basic sci-fi, nudity and a little action. People who would prefer less nudity and more none-sexual action may want to stay clear. I personally liked the movie, but it would not be my first choice. I would have liked to see more fighting, less nudity and more sci-fi elements as it is a sci-fi movie.
