“This movie had a shot at being quite good, only made it to pretty good. It was a bit of a throwback movie from the 50u0026#39;s with better special effects. Performances were good, but the story went from scientific to space horror a tad too quickly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLiev Schrieber was adequate but his character had no emotion until the very end of the film. Other performers were sort of character actor types and their length of time on the screen was based much on either who is the prettiest or the most foolish.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere was decent suspense early on and a curiosity as to what happened earlier in their lives, but not in the movie and I guess it had played a part in the plot, but with no explanation, it was kind of oddly placed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a decent watch and only killed about 98 minutes, so you wonu0026#39;t find it to be a total waste of time. If you watch it with the thoughts of real early science fiction, you can see how it fit into the genre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome people may be surprised by the ending or youu0026#39;ll wonder what happened next.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTake the time, enjoy the ride and I think youu0026#39;ll be pleasantly surprised, but not overwhelmed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJust my thoughts!”
