Okay, I get the whole thing about making an incredibly low budget movie and seeing what happens. But this is no grand adventure. The story was completely un-dramatic though it tried to open with a dramatic fight scene between a space cruiser and some unbelievable foe's. The effects were "home grown" I would guess. Perhaps generated on a laptop while mass quantities of alcohol were ingested. Then, the moment the fiery villain was revealed, I literally burst into laughter.

The captain of the ship was named Captain Morgan. This was appropriate because I believe a gallon of rum is what it would take to enjoy this movie, flat on my face and unconscious (don't drink and drive a space cruiser, by the way)

Now, would I recommend buying this movie? Not on your life! I rented it from "Red Box" for one dollar and feel gypped! At the end of the movie, I looked at my wife and we both simultaneously burst into laughter again.

After all of that, now that I think about it, please rent this film just to see what I am talking about. You would NEVER understand unless you saw it for yourself. I'm warning you, however, have a can of kerosene ready to wash your eyes out when the movie is over.

I have no idea what this movie was about. None whatsoever. So low budget that they couldn't even afford fire (actual fire!) in most of the scenes. As for the actors, they all had heavy Scottish accents. I guess they were supposed to be the descendants of that hot head Scottie.

This movie was not bad at all,for what I payed for it it is worth the price.You could tell it was low budget but alot of b movies are better then A Movies and this one is worth checking out

I rented this, for free, through the Redbox DVD rentals. I am so thankful it was free, after viewing, I could have rented a better movie for free. I've seen better acting and storyline by my neighborhood kids playing army.

One of the worst movies I've seen. It's just laughable, from the acting, to the location somewhere on a beach in Scotland to the production design (come on are we supposed to believe that people 100's of years in the future are using Army surplus tents from WWII). Don't waste your time.......

no real plot....the storyline does not make any sense. and what a terrible ending. i guess the flick had to end somehow. the computer generated explosions were cartoonist. this was a bad film.

Despite the bad reviews, I just had to see this film after I learned it had a $13,000 budget.

It wasn't great, but then again, it was better than a LOT of big budged Hollywood movies I've seen this year. In terms of entertaining me, it did slightly better even than Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, and even better than the most recent Narnia Installment, Prince Caspian.

It had major problems, some acting errors, disjointed plot. But the special effects weren't bad for an indie sci-fi, and was a creative premise (much like Pitch Black).

Again, not great - but I would much rather small films like this get attention, and the directing/writing skills of new indie artists get developed, than continue to see the same old hundred-million-dollor formula films get recycled by Hollywood year after year.

I give it 3.5 stars.

I have never written for a review but I felt obligated to say that this is the worst movie ever. I would rather watch Glitter or a public access channel movie. I can't believe this found a way to my DVD player. Just terrible.

What happened again? Who were these people, and what were they doing out there in the middle of the desert? They may've lost their lives, but I lost $1.05 for the rental. Really spiffy tactical energy-sphere caulking guns, though.

I saw this movie abouta weekago and needless to say i was actually impressed for a low budget movie which i normally refrain from veiwing this one had character, the appeal of the movie showing a almost Pitch Black esq storyline was there, the Actors while all scottish were indeed more heart felt than most of the movies coming out of the big name studios around the globe.

yes the CG effects will make the first season of babylon 5 look high end but sometimes you have to look beyond that and treat it as part of the character of the film. As it is not often we see film come out of Scottland there is a significance with this film to show that the scotts still want to be apart of the Movie Buisness.

Yea you may want to rent the movie so do so.
