my guess be that the producer of this low budget space or horror film want a serious movie but the director have his heart set on a parody . so . this be what we get . set in an abandon spaceship 1000 year in the future and people with character and prop right out of the 90 . the set be some industrial complex and maybe an oil tanker and whatever . they use be as be so the control consist rack of old tv equipment . one location be obviously the employee lunchroom and sport an old tv and vcr as well a a water cooler with plastic demijohn . tiny lister and coolio get the best line and argue throughout the story . the dialog be pack with term that be pretty dated even now ( a ok and daddy o ) but then maybe the 30th century be very retro . when the captain declare the ship cargo be a load of coffin from the transylvania station you know this be all a put on . it a bit of alien and part jasonx and shameless rip off of all the best sci fi and horror title . at one point casper vandien even tell his pilot to make it so with a straight face . this film would have be good if they have just let everyone run with the satire but they keep attempt to make the story serious . maybe the backer be on the set that day . anyway and not a bad boredom killer if you aren not too picky . fx be as good a the set be bad .
