I noticed right off that everyone really stomped on this movie. Sorry, everyone was WRONG, I repeat, they are WRONG. I suspect that most of these reviewers didn't even watch the entire movie. Even I will admit that its very slow out of the gate. A much better job could have been done in regards to making the early scenes a tad more interesting. The thing is, if you stick with this film it starts growing on you until it becomes a much better than average sci-fi experience.
This film is very well written, I found it unique and I was guessing as to who was the real villain right up to the very end. This movie is really a mystery set in space, just a good ole whodunnit and it works. Im sure the people on here who panned the films were seeking more big explosions, more Luke Skywalker hacking away with his light saber, more guys in cool looking costumes, more pseudo tech mumbo jumbo, more aliens with pointy ears or perhaps a few mutants with steel claws. Sorry, this film is aimed at a more sophisticated audience looking for something to draw them in with some skillful audience manipulation as opposed to the big bang good guys vrs bad guys slugfest that is the norm.
I also liked the direction for this one, except for the already stated plodding beginning. I didn't especially buy into the dark lighting but I suspect a "space noir" concept was the goal here. Maybe people in the future just have light sensitive eyes..ha. I was surprised that the film looked as nice as it did. Nothing overwhelming but adequately slick looking.
Somebody commented that the female characters were stupid and did dumb stuff. Hey, thats what REAL people do when they're faced with the unknown, impending doom, and extreme stress. Personally I felt the characters had much more depth than the typical sci-fi film.
To summarize, pay no attention to the previous viewers...I'm sure they wont be happy until Star Wars the retirement home episode comes out. I bought this movie for one dollar on VHS and to be honest was very surprised that I found myself really glued to my TV for the entire last half of the show. Check it out for something different. I thought that Billy Drago, the actress playing the gay chick, and the blond guy all did a great job with their roles. I was held in suspense until the end and that's rare for a film freak like me. Well written mystery here, look somewhere else for your big explosions and freaky looking aliens.
