| Description: | A group of marooned space travelers struggle for survival on a seemingly lifeless sun-scorched world. | Comments: | Unlike Mission to Mars, which had people who go to a planet and have to worry about things on it. While that film had idiocy mixed in with spectacularly inept drama, this film is a hardcore sci-fi/action popcorn flick that hits the target pretty close if not perfectly. The film has a group of space flighters, including a convict (played by Vin Diesel in his least performance on the chain, but only because the other ones in Saving Private Ryan, Iron Giant and Boiler Room were classics) and a muslim (Keith David) and a woman (Randha Mitchell). On the planet, things are quiet in light, pretty barron, but in the dark, things come out. Like a bat story, this film has it's share of scares and scores points, but may only be brought down by some lame dialogue and some dumb plot twists. Still a feast for the eyes in spots.
