Audience Member There is a lot of good to be found in this low budget scifi film but for every bit of kudos one can give, there are some poor pieces of work. The story, while not entirely original is quite enjoyable and well told with some decent acting thrown on top but it tends to start falling apart the further into the film you go (which happens often enough with time travel films). The CG involved is better than expected for the most part but recycling the same footage over and over seriously enhances the low budget nature of the film. The film makes good use of budget by keeping the number of sets used down and the set design is above par when it comes to these types of films but I still can't get over the fact that there's wooden walls, highschool lockers and the ceiling has wooden beams in their "crew quarters" in their space ship! Honestly, there is so much good going on in this film (considering its low budget nature) that I'd like to overlook and not nitpick on some of the lesser issues but when I could fix them all for under $2000, it just shows you that there either wasn't enough planning in this film or they just didn't care. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It's actually really good. The visuals are really bad, but the plot maintains a great degree of suspense, character development, and cohesion. Much better than Prometheus. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting story about a space crew that has been assigned to rescue an adrift cargo ship in deep space. The crew arrives and finds that there has been sabotage and a sense of deja-vu. They are caught in a trap, repeating the same period of time over and over again while trying to prevent a bomb from exploding. The story is great. The script and acting however isn't. Which is too bad, because it is very entertaining, and a fun ride. The narrative is very reminiscent of the Star Trek TNG story 'Cause and Effect'.
