The story was ok, if the ending were better....which it wasn't. No details, but the ending sucked a bag of asholes. The whole thing was ruined right from the start, by the utterly horrible sound team. How this made it to release without anyone noticing that the overpowering, excessively loud, nearly constant music was actually drowning out the lines from the actors and the ship computer. I couldn't take it....it was almost the entire movie, just drowning in that awful music.

Oh, and let's not forget the sheer amount of long, drawn out sequences of nothing....what the heck is that about? Just random shit on screen for like 3 minutes at a time, for no reason. The main actor wasn't bad, but he needs better direction. FAR better. Such as....when you look to your left and expect to see your coworker buddy and his face is half exploded, your reaction is not to brush it off as if it's no big thing. Hate to break it to you.

This movie had a tiny bit of potential for a while there, but then it went full Asylum and ended up sucking eggs the whole way through. It got two stars because it COULD have been good....maybe....if the people that made it were never here, and someone else made it.
