It's still really retarded, but that's kind of become endearing to me. I mean...it's super violent and campy with a great hardcore female lead, it can't be ALL bad. It also continues his 90s tradition of not knowing how to end a movie.

It was ok, but not great. Aliens esq type storyline only with Marilyn Manson as the lead bad guy. Quite actiony for Carpenter but has aspects of his traits. I understand why fans dont like this one. It struggles to feel like a JC film.

After watching it again ive changed my mind slightly in that in its setting and score lies its aesthtic. Although it is a death metalish score it fits the tone perfectly. Its a good action sci fi piece but still has its problems.

This is THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN

No wonder Robert Carradine took a role in Lizzy McGuire. It was better than his small performance in this movie. Bad movie! Bad! Bad! BAD!!

Not a great film, but I was entertained.

In no way a good movie, but it is fun.

Not terrible for a B-Movie...but it's from John Carpenter so we come to expect better from him. The story, while interesting on paper, doesn't translate well on the screen.

The story, while interesting on paper, doesn't translate well on the screen. By that I don't mean the basic story of being trapped with things outside trying to kill you, I mean the whole "Ghosts" of Mar business is just too silly. The cast is a mismatch or decent actors who dont work very well together and havent been given a decent script to work with. Statham is probably the best of the bunch and he has hair! Unfortunately this is one of Carpenter's weakest films despite basically being Assault on Precinct 13...in space. Not required viewing unless you are a Carpenter completist like me!
