Tom van der Esch A huge asteroid is on it's way to smash the Earth, so a team of scientists and drillers is sent there to dig into the rock and blow it up from the inside. While digging they find a chamber with some sort of alien fossil inside. Of course eventually this fossil becomes alive and starts to maul the crew one by one.This movie is basically a fusion of Alien and Armageddon (although not as good as either film, not even close).It's an okay movie in the genre, although I will admit seeing it at a young age left an impression on me. The creature looks decent enough. Sadly there's nothing really redeeming about this movie. All the aspects are just.. generic. I think that's the best word to describe this movie. It has a few good scenes, but in the end it just doesn't wow you.If you're a fan of movies like these, go ahead and watch it. Just don't expect a masterpiece.My rating is 6/10

JW-30 Its cheap. The effects, the actors, everything on low budget. However, the script and direction are is quite good - compared to Michael Bay's Armageddon, which is extremely lame and boring once you leave out all the expensive effects and high-pay actors. Heck, it is even _with_ them, if your mind happens to wake up during the show. In contrast, this movie is original (in parts), it's refreshing low on pathos, and by far less expensive in production. I'd chose it over Armageddon anytime.The alien sidestory is obvious, and OK. I hope director and writer Mr. Tunicliffe, whose other works are primarily in the special make-up department, will find time to hone his directing and writing abilities. There's potential, but he needs training.Not bad for his first script and direction! 6/10, especially in comparison with Armageddon

frightfan A "renegade moon" called Galileo's Child is headed for Earth. A drilling team is sent to create tunnels to be used as propulsion channels for a nuclear detonation that is to divert the moon from its collision course. That in itself is a rough job, but add to that one very angry awakened-from-hibernation alien, and you get an entertaining film containing cool makeup effects and good character development. A good bet for a relaxing night of no-brainer cinema.(sounds a little like two other recent movie plots huh? - this was done two years earlier and to better end than one of them - so who copied who?)

Walle-2 A meteor is heading for earth. A team is sent to the comet to drill into the middle of it and blow it up before is smashes into earth (sounds like Armageddon?).But then they have to fight for their lives when a monster that has been dead for many million years come to life. Think the movie is pretty well done for a b-movie except the space scenes they look just like when you have the "fly through space thing" on your computer.Grade: 7 out of 10
