I saw this on video - and was pleasantly surprised. The sci-fi/horror genre is very tired and trite - but this film managed to take a pretty standard premise and give it some interesting and creative twists. I also like the fact that the actors are not big stars (which obviously changed for Vin Diesel). Unique to have some Muslims in the future - what a concept. As a Muslim, I thought that was dope! This movie is far better than the sequel, the Chronicles of Riddick, which is visually more stunning and complicated, but absolutely lame in the plot department.
What really makes this film unique is the alien/monster. Highly recommended.
