recap represent a military outpost from earth be attack without warn by a mysterious and previously unknown enemy . the human weapon be totally ineffective against this enemy and they must flee . fortunately a disrespected scientist appear at the last moment pick up the refugee . during their flight they head out to a set of mysterious coordinate that might hold some answer to the attack . suddenly they experience a jump and end up on an ice planet and way beyond all of know space . comment represent a bold attempt to make a space opera sci fi movie and but it fail completely . the effect be not at all up to the task and but not everyone can have a big budget and the effect do not really annoy me . not when the story be a complete mess and can only be regard a an embarrassing failure . and with the script and story you can not blame on a little budget and a good story be a good story however the amount of money you put into it . and by the same token and no amount of money can save a poor story . the story be a incoherent mess . the best description i could give be that it feel like someone have mix up the piece of at least five different jigsaw puzzle and then pull piece by random . different scene after each other more often than not doesn not really connect to each other and it seem like something totally unexplainable or unmotivated seem to happen in some vain attempt to connect them . and in some case they director simply seem to give up and fade to black and completely reset the story and start on another thread . there be numerous different substories and none of which be really resolve . and it be no small question that each story put forth and it be alien and it be the attack and who be the enemy and why do they attack and it be alien that appear to be able to shift between energy and matter and possess human and and why do a mysterious tree or computer know ancient sumerian . not even the cast seem to be convince or even aware of what they be act and in some way i feel for them . when the writer poor imagination seem to fizzle some character just stand around and scream and totally pointlessly . but i be not even sure that be what annoys me most . it might be the snowboarding and equally lose and american native that appear on the distant planet mid through the movie and and then just a quickly disappear again . it might be the han solo rip off that completely fail or the energy be ( or whatever it be ) that appear like the mother of all deus ex machinas and defeat the enemy by scream at them . or it might be that after suffer through the incoherent mess it doesn not even end properly and just with a quote that so begin the ice planet archive . what i try to say be that this be a miserable attempt of make a sci fi movie . the effect and prop where not bad and actually quite decent and but the story be just a little more comprehensive than a mad man ramblings . make sure youre get pay to watch this . negative .
