In the future, we find a new planet and figure, "Hey, let's colonize." This, of course, means we pile all manner of life into one giant space ship, put the crew into a deep space-sleep, and hope for the best.
But something goes horribly wrong. Space-wrong.
It seems that during the journey, half the crew became mutants.
Bower (played by Ben Foster from 30 Days of Night) and Payton (played by Dennis Quaid from The Rookie) wake up from their hyper-techno space-sleep with no idea who they are, where they are, why the ship isn't working or what is going on. Bower tries to get to the main reactor through vent systems and such while Payton gives him directions... space-directions.
Bower gets cut off from his walkie-talkie and Payton, but he finds other survivors and a whole mess of violent monster mutants. While Bower climbs through vents systems and such, Payton is left alone... sort of.
The plot twists in some unexpected ways. Twists about the mutants, Bower, Payton, and the entire mission.
The entire movie takes place on a broken spaceship, so it looks like every other broken-spaceship-movie, meaning everything looks like a submarine with computer screens and tubes. The lighting is all green flashlights and blue lens filters, which can be slightly annoying but ultimately does not detract from the film.
I give it 3.5 stars... 3.5 space-stars
