the russian space station avna with a crew of four russian and two american be threaten to re enter the earth atmosphere in a matter of day . russia ask for nasa help in rescue the strand crew and nasa scramble the space shuttle atlantis . the nsa also have an interest in the prometheus and a prototype microwave power source be test aboard avna and organise for one of their men to be place on the mission . that the plot . onto less important thing . the space station and the shuttle be the same and blatantly obvious model use in fallout and memorial day and dark breed ( and a handful of other film and i suspect ) . the model effect be so obvious throughout the entire movie and make the film look very 1960s . the set be a little good but be far too 80 for what be supposedly a brand new station build by an american company ( which later come in a part of a conspiracy to destroy avna and the prometheus and claim the insurance . the script have a few good moment ( include yuri farewell and the little spiel at the end ) but be otherwise fairly bland and sub standard . the acting be okay while the only real standout performance come from alex veadov who offer up some of the film well dialogue . michael dudikoff be and surprisingly and one of the best part about this film . ice t be ice t. nuff say . the film offer a few surprise and though and that i do not wish to spoil . certainly one of the good low grade and contemporary set sci fi film of the last six year and but not the best . the film be watchable but the special effect and plot will probably put a lot of viewer off . rent the other strand sci fi film instead .
