Diagonaldi Very well executed

Cortechba Overrated

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

sergiobuonanno The special effects are ok (ok.. not good) for a low budget movie, but the plot and the screen play is unacceptable. The plot is simply pointless. Definitively the worst sci-fi movie I have ever watched.

JRmf Movies like this one which are essentially stageplays won't please the crowd looking for spectacular CGI and action sequences. I liked it because the story was mostly logical and credible. CGI was adequate and cutaways to exterior ship views were done appropriately. Some of the acting isn't going to win any Oscars, but it's generally adequate.Most of us are blissfully ignorant of, or have forgotten the nuclear Damoclean threat which has lain dormant for 73 years, but who knows, 2065 might be the year...The movie is not without faults: A serious flaw was how the probe was unable to detect an atmosphere full of methane and nitrogen. That could have been detected spectroscopically from orbit, no need even for a probe. Then of course they would not have bothered wasting their precious fuel landing there and picked the other world instead, which turned out to be like Eden. "Hull fractures" which appear at very inconvenient times seem difficult to understand.Also I didn't understand was why Gerry went berserk and became murderous, especially when one death was explained by the Chinese psycho lurking in the Pegasus. While getting stabbed in the torso by a 4 cm scalpel blade would not be pleasant, I doubt if would really stop a healthy opponent from pulling away and fleeing or fighting back.If you like sci-fi, you may well like this one.

cairns_ron Simon Phillips and: Paul Tanter did a pretty good job, possibly they ran out of funds, else why cram the script into the last 10%. Simon could have left us with a future Chinese cliffhanger instead of a drug fueled finsih, but I hold Tanter and script review responsible. Direction, art and suspense I give 70%, Editing did the best they could after it was in the can, meanwhile Simon goes on to the next movie in 2018 I hope. Thanks for reading

charlesqdu Good psych expo of human reaction to nearness of death.One thing I couldn't figure out is what Gerry's role on the ship was, besides being the psyko killer. He's not the engineer, not a pilot, not a medic, not the planetary scientist. He killed expertly enough, but hardly a marine in physique. He knew Chinese and how to sabotage the computer, so maybe a programmer?Just what we need, a villain that is an overweight, knife wielding programmer.
