3/5
The film looks good, not just for a budget film but just in general. That’s of course a lot due to Cameron’s work on Galaxy of Terror but the new sets, practical effects and props look good, too. Go to Full Review

At certain points you'd be forgiven for thinking that you're watching a soft-core flick. Go to Full Review

... gets my vote for both the most gratuitous nudity ever perpetrated in a sci-fi movie and the most inventive distraction from dull exposition. Go to Full Review

Thomas W 4d absolute slop, the director seemed more intrested in making a porno. poor horror movie See more Nick O May 31 Lotsa alien slime, bloody gore and gratuitous nudity...everything you'll ever need from any great drive-in monster movie! See more chris h Feb 12 Campy but awesome...fun 80s horror flick See more matthew d Feb 1 Does it assume people in the future know nothing about a virus? Yes. Was it great? No. Was June Chadwick from V epically hot and British? Yes. Did it have an accompanying brunette getting naked,? Yes. Did it have good scifi themes? Yes. Does it have a blood curdling surgery scene,? Yes. Was it gruesome? Yes. Worth watching? If you worship the ground June Chadwick walks on? Yes. If not? It's debatable.

But there's only so much leeway you can give a work of this quality. The plot isn't inspired by Alien, it is Alien. Only its the clumsy student version. The director throws some bewbs in there in the hope we'll take it seriously. Everything is derivative. You can see inspiration from Star Wars and Battle Star Galactica. There's just nothing original.
