This film missed the mark as it was unconvincing. The acting and the writing/plot where really bad, however, the cinematography and directing was on point. The other fail in this was wardrobe... how is basically a motorcycle helmet part of a modern era space suit? Too bad the negative elements where so apparent, this film had potential. Sadly, it's only a 4/10 from me.

I'm pretty generous when it comes to being low budget and not having the money for big special effects. I found the CGI actually quite good for the budget but what I cannot forgive is the heavily cliched story and bad acting. The story was too predictable and nonsensical. And that ending...Ugh.

Watched this after reading low imdb rating, great premise , good twists and turns, revenge terrorist, decent sets, decent acting, there are lots of rubbish science fiction, but this isn't one of them.

I so rarely write reviews, despite watching an awful lot of movies. This one was poor enough that I was motivated to pop down a warning for any who might think 'Ah, I'll give it a go'

I don't mind a low budget approach to SciFi, I can look past less than perfect FX and CGI, I don't even consider bad science a deal-breaker.

Bad writing, bad acting, insanely obvious 'twist' and lack of satisfying dismount, however - that's enough to get me to put finger to keyboard and declare this a real dud. The actress playing Abby was awful, bless her. Though, to be fair, the script was pretty sub-par so she didn't have a lot to work with. Dominic did his best but the shot choices, off-pace editing and, again, poor source material meant his efforts simply came across as hammy. With better direction on all areas, he at least could have salvaged some dignity. Tom Sizemore was barely in it and had little to do.

The premise of the film is not the worst, and in more capable hands could have been at least an entertaining diversion. However, the actual final result looks like a rushed, b-grade (at best) made for TV gap filler for when the decent shows are on hiatus. SyFy has shown what they are capable of with The Expanse (among others). This was simply not a good movie on any level.

This film was enjoyable Dominic Monaghan stole the show. The acting was above par and Tom Sizemore was in about 20% of it towards the end. It definitely could of been worse on this budget but the writing and storyline held up. Some of Ms.Habel's scenes were a little out of sorts at times I felt I was watching a soft porn flick... NOT THAT I'M COMPLAINING. But on a budget that was minimal this film held it's own and I can say it was a pretty good film.. Sci-fi fans who don't have sticks up their butt will enjoy.
