This space flick about a marooned escape pod was not quite
as bad as its Imdb-rating implied, but not much better either. I expected much
more of a project that managed to attracted not one, not two, but three huge
Star Trek alumni names: Tim Russ, Armin Shimerman and Marina Sirtis, the latter
of whom only had a small role, as well as Doug Jones of STD and a few others. Is suppose that the script wasn’t that bad.
Sure, it played with a few age-old tropes, but it did have a surprising and interesting
twist. Then again, the two-class system that kept being thrown into the audience's faces had a lot more potential than just as a
tool to create more tension between the survivors of the initial shipwreck - but
this potential remained tragically unused.
The characters were superficial and comical. The
acting was generally horrendous. For the Star Trek actors, it felt like they
were trying to deliver as per the contract, but the overall quality of the production
was just too horrible and cheap to turn their contributions into anything good.
The visuals were summarily terrible. Sub-par animations and CGI, ridiculous
creature animation (looked like some trashy 80ies horror film), bad sets etc. The
whole thing looks like one of those fan films.
But,
despite everything , it managed to keep me more engaged than many other films I’ve
seen, and the plot, though it seemed generic, was somewhat interesting. They
deserve a 2/5.
PS: Herman Wilkes has an unreal voice. O.O
