CGiii Comment
An early offering from a director of future blockbusters.
The script is...lacking.
The sets are surprisingly good for a B-movie.
It is the typical tale of bum-f*&king, posturing prisoners (in space) with geeky computer geeks who all deserve a bum-f*&king by the bum-f*&king.
Dreadfully acted to the point when you will applaud when a geek does get bum-f*&ked (ooops).
A terrible film with some good touches...not enough to bring it out of the vacuum.
