High gore in outer space hell

Rating: 2/10 (13 May 2015)

There are two basic types of horror films--suspense-based and gore-based. Since I can't stand the former, it won't be a surprise that I greatly disliked this movie. Placing the scene in the future allows for some plot contrivances (whatever plot there is), but the "science" in the science fiction is so lame as to be laughable. I doubt there was a technical adviser within 10 light-years of either writing or production. With no plot and no character development (and some idiotic characters, to boot!), you are left roughly with an Olympic-pool sized bloodbath to make up for the rest.
There were some reviewers who mentioned Hellraiser as a possible reference type in their comments, and I would concur. Some of the special effects grotesqueries were good, and that is why I gave a rating of 2 rather than 1. If hack-fest movies are your thing, have at it. I'd guess it might rate much higher in your view! But, if you are/were looking for an interesting science fiction tale, seek elsewhere.
