Amazon.com: Filmmakers apparently count on the fact that generational turnover renders old formulas fresh again for new audiences. Which is the only explanation for this sci-fi thriller, which could kindly be called an homage to Ridley Scott's trendsetting Alien. A medical rescue ship responds to a distress call from a mining colony and finds only one survivor: a strange young man (Peter Facinelli), who comes aboard carrying an even stranger alien artifact. But the plot of this film, which was directed and then disowned by Walter Hill, grows confused as it tries to explain the sinister force that will lead to a star going to supernova status, causing a universe-shattering explosion. Some nice sexual tension between James Spader (as a recovering drug addict who is the ship's copilot) and Angela Bassett (as the ship's doctor). Notable mostly, however, for the eerie resemblance, both physical and vocal, between Facinelli and Tom Cruise. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - Robin Tunney Topless!
Worth a few bucks just for this. The rest of the movie? Meh.
Rating: - should be zero stars
This is possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. I don't know where to begin. I am a regular movie watcher yet somehow this one slipped by me. I was anxious to try out the new amazon unbox to download movies directly to Tivo and this one was on special for 99 cents. Note to self. There's a REALLY, REALLY good reason this was 99 cents. Like I said, quite possibly the worst movie EVER.
Rating: - Good enough Sci Fi thriller
I can't add much to the reviews that found the movie missing "something", because it doesn't really flow, and yet, in a way that works for this movie. It's enjoyable, the effects are really good and though there is no "message" at the end, it's a good time without going over the edge.
The story could have been fleshed out better and some things explained better or deleted, but it's watchable for what it is. A B-movie Sci Fi thriller.
Rating: - The worst movie ever.
I've seen lots of bad movies in my life. Sometimes these bad movies are kindof fun, like the recent Doomsday; other times they're just horrifyingly lame, like Wing Commander or Dungeons & Dragons; and then there's the epicly bad movies, like Waterworld. But this movie... this movie was worse. It was amazing, watching actors I cared about (Robin Tunney, Angela Bassett) do a fairly good job, and still not save the the movie. The plot, the concepts, the visual effects, the sound mixing - rarely do I even notice this! - they all add up to something worse, and more boring, than one can truly imagine.
Worse than Blair Witch 2, than anything by Roger Corman, than... well, anything, period. This movie is one for the ages. Avoid.
