Orbiting a planet on the brink of war, scientists test a device to solve an energy crisis, and end up face-to-face with a dark alternate reality. (IMDb)
Cheesy expository dialogue and a chemistry-less cast of characters get things off to a rough start, but it sort of morphed into an enjoyably campy sci-fi romp with an appreciably eclectic cast when there was just a bunch of super weird/gross things happening (“What are you talking about, arm?”). But before long, uber-serious and unintelligible science-y plot-speak, bland character drama, and a distant-in-every-way side plot on earth take over and ruin the film’s chances of being decent.
5.5/10 (Poor)

Great review! I got really excited when the film was released but immediately lost that excitement when the reviews started coming in. Still haven’t watched it. Maybe someday, when I don’t feel like thinking.

yeah i wasn’t too thrilled about watching it either, but then i read one review which had one positive thing to say and so i figured i’d take a chance on it! it did have one segment of 20 mins or so that i thought was pretty good but the rest of it just didn’t click. but who knows, it might sit better with you!

Thanks! Yeah. It just felt awkward most of the time.
