So why is this movie, unlike his other works a clear recommendation? This is due primarily to the fact that there is no selbstinszenatorische Over-the-top action in this film are so cheap that comes along like in the movies mentioned above. It really is time for a nice horror scifi mix that is inspired by his sets in the first Alien movies. Probably for this reason, I forgive this film its effects, because they play as opposed to the last two Resident Evil Strip a subordinate role and the whole thing goes towards Horrorschocker, probably not really to shock with its Ekeleffekten course in our TorturePorn times white, but with its atmosphere, which also exerts a pleasant psychological pressure. This really is the great power of the film.
As a great stroke of luck turns out to be the cast of the film. Sam Neill and Laurence Fishburne, who, thanks to this film the role of Morpheus got (But one must this film alone thank) naturally dominate this film. But is not to say that you look like Valentine and co wishes their death, because they are so unappealing. No, given the screen time the smoking and jokes torrential members act like a Reminisenz the Nostromo.
The gravitational core I have the way still have to mention because it still exerts a certain fascination because of its appearance in combination with the lighting. The general appearance of the film reminds As mentioned Alien- but Pandorum. If you like this sort of scifi, should access.
And because the film has so visually exactly met my nerve, I forgive him too obvious plot holes and inconsistencies. Considering that it is a child of the 90s, the film is also surprisingly well aged.
So who wants to experience the Paradaxum to want to see a good film ... Paul Anderson here it is ... probably the only one. One can compare "The Island" is with Michael Bay and the first of häfte. Both untalented directors who had once created a stroke of luck, however, are known for soulless blockbuster that do well at box office.
