watched this whole movie for the first time after seeing bits and pieces over the year (remember seeing the train scene when I was a kid on TV and it traumatized me) I think this is a pretty good genre flick with a crazy overqualified cast. Natasha Henstridge also brings a sense of naivete and innocence to her character despite being a killing machine, and her assets of course are a huge selling point. Some nice practical effects and Christopher Young score as well. Main problem is the climax with the absolutely awful CGI. I think if the climax had been better and without the horrendous FX, the overall impression of this film would be better

Nay
The majority of the movie is mediocre, with the finale being flat-out bad. The cast is really the only thing that makes it worth watching at all.

Yay
I watched it 2 years ago and was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't amazing or anything, but I thought it was pretty good overall.

Yay if I'm prepubescent, the internet isn't really around yet, and I have cable. Outside those narrow set of circumstances, nay.

Mild yay. Pure B-movie schlock that I mindlessly enjoy.

The exact reason it gets a yay from me. A movie like that can be fun, but in this case it is boring sleazy trash imo.

I get the impression this project started with an attempt at making a Serious sci fi horror like the first Alien with elements of Basic Instinct which is how they got such an impressive cast and HR Giger to do the alien design but halfway through they gave up and said “let’s just make this sleazy fun”

I have it as a 5/10 on IMDb, so I guess I'm on the fence. I never did bother with the sequels though.

Yay. It's a trippy, mid-1990's science fiction/body horror with a good cast and stylish cinematography.

Haven't watched it in decades but I did not care for it at the time, so for now it's a Nay from me.
