Not a must seen movie at all, with that plot it had a big potential. Still an enjoyable movie

The idea was brilliant, but the ending was a mess. I love the crew, but I think they regret doing the movie.

Amazing cast. Worth a worth for sci-fi fans.

Has an intriguing premise, but the execution falls flat. The pacing is slow, and it doesn't fully live up to its potential or suspense.

Not a good adaptation, but still counts as a movie

A coulda-been-good claustrophobic paranoia thriller with a lot of bad dialogue and an incomplete non-ending. I prefer Cube by a long shot.

One of my 10 movies! Great sci-fi adaptation, that's even slightly better than the book! The cast is nearly perfect, the visuals great! Fun!

For sci-fi fans only. Bit outdated, but solid cast, decent mystery.

Another ho-hum adaptation of a Crichton classic
