| RATING: | 60% |
| FORMAT: | DVD |
A badly plotted, absurdly contrived, formalistic and derivative science-fiction movie that owes much to Silent Running but is nowhere near as good - despite the thematic absurdity of that film.
It is well acted but to little avail as its attack on capitalist business morality excludes genuine sci-fi concepts and so it could just as easily have been set on Earth. Because there no true insights into the nature of humans isolated from others nor cabin fever, this movie undercuts its own ethicist message by treating its own characters as means-to-ends rather than ends-in-themselves.
A characterless film about characterlessness - albeit technically impressive for its low budget.
