While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

***big spoiler*** I really enjoyed this movie. It was interesting and it made you think about decisions you make in your own life and career. The two leads, Chris and Theta have wonderful chemistry and you root for their relationship to be perfect even when you are afraid they may kill each other. Jason London was his usual perfectly darling self and you can only respond to his line "I'm the best you ever had and you cant get enough of me" with a grin and a nod. The situation these astronauts were put into by their employer really angers me though. (And I thought MY employer was less than concerned with it's employees' welfare!) But putting them into a situation that could potentially cost them their lives in order to save some money is just evil!!!! The last scene between Chris and Theta where they are deciding whether to end their lives rather than die horribly after being marooned in space brings a tear to your eyes. I believe I would decide the same thing as I think they did however, to stay together as long as possible.Also I think the word 'Alien' in the title refers to something unknown rather than a being from another planet.

This movie was a refreshing scent into the Sci-fi genre. I really enjoyed this movie. The way the characters interact with each other, and now they would always have a good time even in a bad situation. This was awesome photography and the direction by Mark Haber was excellent. The music used in the whole shipping grounds was a nice touch to give it that space-like feeling. I would definitely welcome a DVD release if this gets a DVD release. My favorite actress Missy Crider stars in here as Theta Kaplan a beautiful, gorgeous blond who is ultimately and secretly dating Christopher McNeil even though it's against SSS17 rules and policies. But they don't care about rules and policies all they care about is getting the job done so they can go home and have a relaxing time. I love this movie. Put it on DVD now.

It's a lazy Saturday and I'm at home, not expecting to find anything worth watching on the tube when I stumbled upon this movie. I have to say that I was very surprised by this film. It's really pretty good. The problem with a lot of sci-fi pictures today is that they fail to create a believable fantasy world. Bad sci-fi flicks suffer from gaping plot holes or scientific impossibilities that anyone who paid attention to 4th grade science could figure out. This film doesn't suffer from such ailments. The writer and director painted a believable picture of a future where humans live on Earth, Mars, and mine the moons of Saturn and interplanetary shipping of cargo is a high pay / high risk job. The two lead characters awake from hyper-sleep 10 months past their scheduled date only to discover that the ship has been ravaged by the two members of the previous shift... both of whom are missing. The suspense starts from there continues to build for remainder of the film. It was pretty suspenseful flick. A lot of that is due to excellent acting jobs by Missy Crider (Frailty, Powder, the TV series The Others) and Jason London (The Rage: Carrie 2, Safe Passage) and a script by Carla Jean Wagner that didn't sacrifice accuracy for an abundant amount of official sounding techno-babble. Put the acting and writing together and you actually end up caring about the lead characters. If this movie a larger budget for props and special effects, it could have ranked up there with films like Alien, or Blade Runner. The ending isn't typical, which only adds to the class of this film. The only problem I can see with the flick are the external CGI shots of the ships... they are good for television, but still obviously generated by computer. Regardless, I still recommend this film. Enjoy!

Don't worry, if you miss this it's nothing you haven't seen before. They've tried to spice up a fairly typical sci-fi script with some fast music (ala BABYLON 5) and some commendable effects (for a telemovie, obviously with a limited budget, due to the fact it was shot in Australia for tax reasons and used mainly Australian actors). Mixed results, but far better than (for example) AIRTIGHT.
