Interesting concept, but has undeveloped characters

Rating: 5/10 (10 August 2014)

I've heard this movie come up oftentimes when it comes to really good science fiction movies. I think that this movie would been more impressive if watched in the 90s, but you can see how this could have been a major source of inspiration for movies like Sunshine and other science-fiction movies. There are also a few scenes that are oddly and unintentionally comedic, such as with Cooper in space. Regardless, some of the establishing shots are very impressive as well as some of the special effects. The movie draws a lot of parallels to Sunshine, but this movie stays truer to a typical horror movie, so it is understandable that it isn't as strong of an overall movie.
