Details

In the 22nd century, seven explorers set out on a mission to earth's nearest sister planet, AURORA. Their mission - to survey and explore for future colonization. When their ship suddenly malfunctions, the crew is forced to crash land on the planet's surface, where crippling heat, poisonous water, and fierce storms threaten their lives at every turn. With a handful of supplies and little hope of rescue, their only option is a grueling four hundred mile trek to their ship's lost supply bunkers. To survive, the men will have to push their endurance to the limit and entrust their lives to a leader who will risk everything to succeed, no matter what the consequences.

Freaktana A Major Disappointment
edwardrevans This is the worst film I have ever seen in my life and I seen plenty the only saving grace was that it was free with a magazine. From the off you see that the egg boxes and fairy lights have been used to decorate the set. Lots budget rubbish the sets were worse than the original star trek TV fair. As for the plot there is non just utter garbage just guys walking across desert all the time. Afterwards I figured that this is why like "The Riddle" it was a free give away because frankly this would never sell.I am even struggling to fill my mandatory 10 lines of text for the review and personally the magazine should be utterly ashamed of itself. If you are making a budget title you focus on dialogue as this costs nothing make it engaging for gods sake.
Red-Barracuda After a malfunction, a spaceship crash lands on a desert planet called Aurora. The said planet has been selected for human colonisation on the basis that it is covered in a desert, has extreme temperatures, has no drinkable water and is inhospitable for human colonisation. But apart from this it is an excellent choice. The surviving men then embark on a trek across the hostile terrain. Along the way they argue a bit. And drink some water. And that's it. That is all that happens. Additional highlights include tent scenes, dramatic posing in the desert, tent scenes, a low budget electric storm, tent scenes and scenes in a tent. Recommended for insomniacs with an interest in desert camping.
peaps I rented this video from the Video shop for £2.50 and I felt thoroughly ripped off after watching about 20 minutes of it. Complete drab story-line, pathetic special effects and no plot. All it consisted off was a group of blokes camping at night in a tent, and walking across a desert through day. Thats it. Oh, and along the way, there was a sandstorm which was the highlight. I honestly can't believe this got made into a video. I could do better with my pet hamster, RC monster truck and camcorder. Anyway, after I watched about 20 minutes as I say, I just hit the fast forward button and watched the rest of the film in fast forward mode. I was looking forward to seeing some spaceship action or aliens etc, but all that I was presented with was these guys in fake space suits walking across the desert then having a cup of soup out of a thermos flask in the tent at night. Along the way, some guys died, but thats about as adventurous as it got. Severely NOT recommended to anyone, unless you want to become a vegetable.
monkeyfilm-1 Okay, seems like there's been a broad range of comments on this little indie. First, I caught the film (on DVD), while visiting a friend in London. As far as low, low, micro budget films go, Aurora wasn't bad. Granted, the film doesn't have ILM quality effects (not even close with this one), but it was nice to see a film with some heart and character.The direction was good, the novice cast, fair to really good. The cinematography and music, very nicely done! Now for those looking for a slop cut Armageddon kinda experience, Aurora is NOT FOR YOU! The film takes its time to develope. Its more in line with 2001: A Space Odyssey set in the desert. So, if you're looking for hyper speed and fast cuts, stay away, you'll be bored. For me, I really dug this movie and the people/characters in it. By the end, I was pretty thirsty
