    The worst movie I've ever seen.

    This was a lte night dribbling on the sofa affair, maybe if i were 12 i would have got it, then again if i were twelve the whiskey would have killed me

    Feeble sci fi based on a computer game, which was actually more convincing, and had bigger stars (Malcolm McDowell and Mark Hamill, vs. Jurgen Prochnow and that bloke who was in...erm , that thing, you know....) Tries to be Top Gun in space, but manages to be even more cliched an...( read more)d simplistic. And the aliens are bollocks.

    The game was much better.

    He's wearing a cross?! :O This movie was dumb...

    This movie based on a video game SUCKS!!! This movie is ridiculous and the storyline might just as well be from a 1950's B movie. The dialogue is awful, the acting worse, and the supposedly futuristic spacecraft looked like they were bought from a studio auctioning off props from...( read more) old World War II movies.
    The characters are extremely well crafted in the game series, well, for a video game series anyway. Here, they come off as a bunch of tired clichés. Also, I take issue with the fact that Blair, the main character, is some kind of chosen one with special powers.

    Im pretty sure ive seen this but cant remember the outcome
  • September 10, 2009
    At least they could have cast one good actor. Just one. For one of the best computer games, this movie does no justice.
  • September 6, 2009
    Some games don't lead themselves to the world of Cinema, this is not one of them, but with the cast they chose they might as well called it Scream Next Summer In Space.
  • September 1, 2009
    Ahead of its time in terms of its retro style look of the future (recently made fashionable in Battlestar Galactica).

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

These actors, alas, are at the service of a submoronic script and special effects that look like a video game writ large. full review
