When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I actually put off watching this movie for 2 years before I finally bit the bullet. I felt the story line was too Cliche, I'm tired of Zombies and Body Snatcher movies.That being said WOW!!!!! I was totally blown away by this movie. I went a tad bit overboard with the 10 due to all the negative votes but it is clearly at least a 9. I can't go into details because it would spoil the ending but WOW, Clearly Amazing. One of the best Sci-Fi space movies I've ever seen.I recommend watching this movie.

Typical bad reviews for this movie read like a 3rd grade book report: I didn't like this because I've seen better zombies... I didn't pay any attention to the rest of the movie.Here is how the adults do it. Biggest problem with this movie is because it was familiar. I get the Event Horizon angle. I also get a similar feeling from Doom. Alien? Maybe. Take away all of the inanimate objects from Alien or Aliens and there are only some rare similarities left. No terror. No Bishop. No power-loader. Hell yes to battling demons.This is not a shocking and gory horror film in which you hope your favorite survives to the end. Instead, it's a trippy sci-fi thriller which has two goals to interest viewers. First, figure out what's dangerous to the characters. Second, have an acid flashback. This genera is difficult to follow for the young and the sober, which explains most of the negative reviews. That also explains most of the 10+ reviews.There are many major flaws in this film which would normally jail it in B movie territory, for sure. But, unlike many other B movies, trash talking it and gem spotting are so easy.There's almost no background given on most characters. You might miss some if you don't have subtitles turned on. On the flip, you can watch it with friends and take a drink when a character dies because nobody cares.Here are the numbers:Acting: 9/10 One of the best gems is how the actors crush their performances.Dialogue: 8/10 Troopers out of their minds, trying to express something, makes some strange poetry. Whit and his wife are perfect.Music: 2/10 Only way to get a worse rating is if there was no music...Premise: 4/10 Why are there so many pseudo-important people who then take up a lot of time by saying unimportant things only to disappear for half, if not all of the movie?Story Development: 9/10 Happy ending?Comedy: 4/10 Many respectable attempts. I laughed once.Sets: 7/10 Wait, didn't he just run and duck past that same steam vent before? I guess that happens because every room in sci-fi has to be small. Detail was good and functional.Effects: 6/10 Talcum and dried blood are the only makeups. Functional for visual and sound.Cinematography: 8/10 Camera operator should get a raise.Editing: 7/10 Why is a dirty jump called a dirty jump? I get the feeling that half of the movie was cut out to shrink it down to only two hours.Grade: 64/100 Rounds down to a 6/10. If you are a fan of sci-fi, then don't miss this one.

While some of the budget shortcuts are obvious (hey, we've seen this hallway a dozen times already), they spent the money where it counts. The performances are mostly excellent, but the actors weren't given enough to do with the characters. They were given diverse motivations and hinted at interesting backstories but then very little time was spent exploring them. It was just all a tease. The film would've been better had it not felt the need for excessive chasing and fighting. I preferred the psychological tension versus the physical threats. The film didn't trust its audience. They had the potential for a great brainy sci-fi film, but felt it necessary (investors maybe?) to add some cheap action.Final conclusion: Worth checking out

Where most of the sci-fi movies like this are really just scary action movies in a sci-fi setting, this unassuming title surprised me a lot in a good way by being deeper than that.Without spoiling anything, the setup is pretty typical at first glance, where a team of people are sent on a rescue mission to the most remote mining outpost, where something as gone terribly wrong due to circumstances unknown, possibly a contaminant of some sort. Upon arrival, however, and after events unfold, what I found was that the movie explores the effects of what happens on said team, the effects on their minds and psyches, much better than I usually see. Additionally, the background setting in the 23rd century is well established, even if the movie provides only the basics of it in order to leave most of the screen time to the main action, which is fine. Furthermore, the environments and props, etc, I found very well done, as were the visual effects.I thought the ending left some questions to be thought about, which I feel is a good in sci-fi too. So, all in all, I found it very enjoyable and quite better than the average sci-fi movie.
