Vin diesel, the black dressed guy with black spectacles is appropriate as the convicted guy who silently observes everything giving the final say, retaining his mysterious nature. He is neither bad nor a nice guy but a lead in escaping from dangers of the universe, a world of man hunting creatures. The sci-fi set up is praiseworthy with Vin diesel as the exact cast. Radha Mitchell is also exact to the role fitting at the right place. It's basically a survival film with scientific atmosphere where Vin takes the lead. A well watchable film with action adventure and mysteries all tied together properly.
The film is technically good, good presentation, good acting with not much developed characters though. But still it managed to retain the Suspense, avoiding the details of the creatures, showing bit by bit to preserve the thrills. Vin's strategy is cool to watch in leading the entire group towards safety implying his good heart somewhere. He is also disturbed by the black sheep of the team as usual in other stories too.
The scene where there is pitch black everywhere and an attempt to illuminate the area through a lighter is one of the best to watch. The whole set up of the film with Vin diesel reminds of the 90s famous 'Hot dog' song by 90s semi metal Band Limbizkit, fitting exactly the sci-fi settings and Vin with his round black spectacles with its hardline tunes. This is seperate from its BGM, which is average I feel.
The climax is shown as 3 people out of entire crew surviving the planet. Vin shading tears for the girl seems flawed as he is a type of hard guy with sci-fi mind and an event on far away cosmos with less survival rate. The statement of the believer aiming at Vin saying 'Here is my God' is praiseworthy reply, retaining both visible and invisible aspects of the faiths, respecting the orthodox and secular minds at the same time. The surviving characters are to be understood as the unbeliever, the believer and the little kid implying the innocent. A brilliantly developed sci-fi film with thrilling and interesting plot. A 79 on a scale of 100.
