Plot holes anyone?

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2005)

Why in the world were the makers of this film in a rush to end it at 1 hour 46 minutes? Another 20 minutes and this could have been a great flick instead of barely passable.
Notes to the film makers: Spend two minutes telling us what world we're dealing with here, i.e., is having a space station with a gravity well STANDARD? Do test pilots and hot corporate directors routinely go into space without training? Think GATTACA or Minority Report. We're given an idea of what reality the characters are living in, therefore we can acclimate ourselves and have our belief suspended.
Could they have spent five minutes showing us Victor telling "his people" to bug Reed's lab? There just happen to be cameras there? Huh? Could they NOT have rushed from Ben feeling oh-so-alone to "heh, I'm okay with this after all?" For all the moaning he did, he embraced his condition quite quickly after that. I know, I know, he wanted to help his best friend, Reed. And speaking of that.....
Did anyone else think it was WAY to easy for Victor to convince Ben that Reed was stalling his research to hang out with Sue? I was under the impression that Ben and Reed were best friends...you'd take the word of your "enemy" over what you know about your best friend? Huh? And could the filmmakers spent 60 seconds showing Victor's people trying to FIND Ben when Victor says "bring him to me." What, he can order him like take out and "poof", he's there? SUPER big issue here.....Reed is MELTING on the floor of his lab, then Victor is there? First, Reed really needs to get his spare key back from Vic since at least twice he walks in without so much as a pause. Second, I understand Reed passed out, so a) how did he get back into his bed and b) did Sue go deaf and blind? Reed may have been passed out in bed while the bad guy was in his lab, but Sue didn't notice all the lights shooting out of the room ....lights bright enough to be seen from across the city but not noticeable from within the same building? Could the filmmakers have spent a minute showing us, I don't know, a soundproof room with no windows? Just my thoughts, kids. Had some nice moments, but ultimately lost me.
