I hardly know where to begin. I went to see this when it first came out, expecting a stylish, smart sci-fi horror movie. Instead, I saw something that could have been a decent horror flick, if it weren't for the complete disregard given to common sense. Here are my problems with the movie in no particular order:
What sadist designed a "suspended animation" pod that, when opened, dumps you on to the deck in a huge splash of water?
It was said that they accelerated to 10Gs - floating in a tub of water wearing a snorkel isn't going to keep your lungs from imploding at that level of acceleration.
The CO2 scrubbers (a big deal in the movie) were located at the end of the ship with the space drive - as far from the living quarters where the CO2 expelling humans spend their time. And, the ship is conveniently designed to explode in the middle, which would split the ship in two, in case the experimental space drive misbehaved, but would also doom the crew to a slow, suffocating death. Not the best design in the world.
Stuff was used for atmosphere that would be impractical at best : A huge cruciform windshield, doors with big spikes that slam shut alarmingly fast, a dim, dank sick bay with operating tables shaped like neon coffins. All of which makes for a creepy atmosphere, but none of which makes any sort of sense in designing a spaceship. I'd much rather have a scary movie in which they at least *tried* to have things make sense.
No one on earth could figure out they were speaking Latin in the video? I know it's a dead language, but come *on*!
There's much more, including one of the crew traveling through space by venting O2 from his suit, but hopefully I've given you enough reasons to avoid renting this thing. The bad, bad, *bad* science was ludicrous enough to keep me from getting even a little scared.
