I first saw this movie on the Sci-Fi channel in the mid-2000's and it really left an impression on me. Probably the best things about it are the characters and the unexpected ending. Very good acting from London and Crider (and the rest of the cast), and the movie never insults the intelligence of the viewer. Also notable is the altruism and likability of the two main characters. The special effects are adequate to show what's happening in space, but don't take away from the focus of the plot. After years of trying to find this movie on DVD (and trying to remember the title), I finally found a Blockbuster VHS copy and digitized it. This movie is a rare gem. I recommend it not only to sci-fi fans but to anyone who enjoys sitting down to a good movie and who may be tired of the average Hollywood mass produced carbon copy flick.
