Review:
I wanted to write this review because I felt the negative reviews were a little harsh or didn't give this movie a fair shake. By all means this is not a masterpiece but it is a decent film to watch when nothing else is on. A lot of users have compared it to Doom, Aliens, Event Horizon and 28 Days Later. Maybe it's because I haven't watched Doom, Event Horizon or Aliens in a while but I'm not seeing the comparison besides space, aliens, and isolation. This is also not a zombie space flick. The characters in the film are only infected and very much alive. Once you kill them they are dead. No walking dead is going on here. Now here is my issue with the movie.
Spoilers may follow:
My issue with the movie is the selfishness of the characters. Apparently everyone part of this professional special force team that also has a high level of fatality has family and children. We know this because they keep mentioning it while they are on Infini. This leads to the biggest problem. Once they are infected (they realize this by the way) they are insistent on still returning to earth. Are you kidding me? Yes we get that you want to see your family and loved ones again but you are literally putting them in danger while giving a giant "FU" to the human race. Towards the end everyone is dead besides Cart Wright who has given up and decided to die up there. He leaves a recording for the alien organism that caused the infection, and puts it on repeat before cutting his wrist and bleeding out. At this point I was wondering why he didn't blow up the station or freeze it again. That was explained very quickly because Cart Wright's message had an effect on the alien organism. The alien organism has a change of heart, and heals the recently dead specialists (healingregenerating ability is explained earlier in film). Also apparently one of the members had an abortion and one of the visual scenes shows life being recreated in her. Um, what?
Anyway all of them remember what happened except for the captain because he died before everything got crazy. So the now the revived crew lies to the captain about the events so he can authorize their return to earth. These are professionals, right? Like they know what happens when they are re-introduced to the population, right? After they are transported back to earth they are temporarily quarantined and asked multiple times if they have been infected. They of course deny this and the interrogators quarantine squad say they will know if they're lying. This is how far in the future and we still don't have a decent lie detector machine? Also the crew was acting way suspicious. Especially Cart Wright. You don't need a lie detector to read facial expressions to realize something is off.
Despite this annoyance (along with taking off their helmets) it was still a decent film.
