Wasted Opportunity

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2000)

I was looking forward to seeing this film for a long time - the mystery of the disappearance of the first ever ship to fold space and travel to another star. The concept was very interesting.
After the initial thrill, it turned into Hellraiser in space, and the entire chance to explore the wonders of what the first ever traverse of interstellar space and a real mystery was thrown away for gory effects and a very thin reason as to why things were happening. Do film producers that the viewer is an idiot? 'They won't understand basic physics, just throw in some gore, that'll entertain them?' I like to think that movies have come a long way since the shock value of the 1980's.
