Fifty years from now, the sun is dying, and mankind is dying with it. Our last hope: a spaceship and a crew of eight men and women. They carry a device which will breathe new life into the star. But deep into their voyage, out of radio contact with Earth, their mission is starting to unravel. There is an accident, a fatal mistake, and a distress beacon from a spaceship that disappeared seven years earlier. Soon the crew is fighting not only for their lives, but their sanity.
This movie deserves a recommendation simply because it followed the very tough rule of all science fiction movies. A truly good science fiction movie has to make you forget that you are watching a movie and somewhere in your brain believe that what you are watching could somehow be true or possible one day. This movie pulls this off right off the bat. The cast was good and the overall look of the movie was awesome. The only knock I would make against this movie is that when a raving loony bad guy gets introduced later on during the movie - its never very clear what the deal is with him. Literally. Every time he is on screen the camera shakes violently. It was almost as if they didn't have enough money left in the budget to do the makeup so they shook the camera whenever it was on him to try and make him seem scarier. I just found it kind of annoying. Besides that though this was actually a really well done movie and science fiction is the toughest genre of film to pull off by far.
I would recommend this movie to anyone in to sci-fi. Unfortunately, its not really playing at too many theaters so you might have to wait for rental.
