Plot Summary
Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, True Lies) faces a new, unstoppable terror in this science fiction chiller from the producer of Aliens, Terminator 2 and Tremors. Curtis plays the navigator of a tugboat crew which loses its cargo during a hurricane. In the calm eye of the storm, they come across a Russian research ship floating dead on the water. Boarding the vessel, they initially believe it to be deserted - but they soon realize they're not alone. First, they discover a terrified survivor (Joanna Pacula, Tombstone), and then they find that the ship has been taken over by a ruthless alien intelligence. Now, the small band must fight for their lives against a force that has come to claim Earth for its own, and creates bio-mechanical monstrosities with one goal: eliminating the virus called humans.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: As long on adrenaline and special effects as it is short on genuine novelty and intellectual content.
Rotten: Your average winter cold follows a less predictable course.
Rotten: A derivative sci-fi shocker that isn't likely to spark much interest beyond its target audience of undemanding genre fans.
Rotten: The monsters themselves are quite a bit less than frightening, most of them being little mechanical gadgets with spidery legs and not much resistance to machine-gun fire.
Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!!!
If you love robots gone bad, it's great! Bad robots, assimulating humans. You will comply! cool.
good bad
This is a favorite of mine - it's ridiculous of course, but it's also very creepy and gross and the acting is good.
Decent fun
It's a little cheesy but the story and acting is decent. Yes it's predictable but still worth a rent.
