Critic Reviews

, Time Out
With strictly tele-standard acting, straightforward space opera plot, grandiose sentiment and slushy love interest, it's really only meat for genre fans.
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Money shows, but pace and acting suffer.
-
Frank Ochieng, Movie Eye
A Star Wars clone for the boob tube crowd that never quite captured the imagination or originality that an ambitious sci-fi showcase should exude so effortlessly.
-
Kevin A. Ranson, MovieCrypt.com
High concept, low budget. Not looking forward to the SciFi channel 'reinterpretation'.
-
James O'Ehley, Sci-Fi Movie Page
The plot is as old as it gets and merely serves to get a group of people aimlessly lost in space.
