Killer Bees

I saw this movie last weekend.  Have to say I was disappointed.

I thought I'd like this movie.  I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing really did.  I guess I was expecting a 28 Days Later/Event Horizon type thing.  Maybe if I didn't have any expectations, it would have been better.  But I guess it's hard to go in completely clear minded about movies.

At least the scientific adviser on the movie is actually a scientist.  They featured him in a recent issue of Focus magazine, but his name escapes me for the moment.

What did you all think of this one?
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.......

Actually, I thought it was one of the few movies that, at the beginning, just totally "immersed" me, you know?  I really felt like these guys were really on a spaceship, had this mission and stuff, loves a lot of the sets, especially the Oxygen Garden.  I loved the soundtrack as well. 

Buuuut...

I don't know, I can't help but think it would have been better if they'd stuck with the "constantly experiencing technical problems" building suspense a la Apollo 13 rather than the direction they ultimately choose to go.  Kind of turned the movie into a cliche, in my humble opinion.

It feels more like a summary of all sci-fi hits from "2001" onwards than as a real movie, but I found it very enjoyable, if only for the far fetched twists and the visuals.
Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

  For the most part I enjoyed it.The movie had kind of a weird yet cool vibe to it.I liked the idea of the sun as god /angry deity.Somewhat tarnished by the last 15min
kinda reminded me of Altered States a little.I might buy it if I can get it cheap.
