LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
trashgang How is it possible that a producer from series like Carnivale and Spartacus: Blood and Sand has made such a bad flick. Daniel Knauf should have known better, maybe he did because this was his first and last attempt to make a full feature.The budget must have been very low because when they are running through the corridors you can easily see that they ran in circles. But by editing they tried to avoid that feeling. The CGI used is one of the SyFy style, so really bad. When they are hiding in a room full of rocks , they really looked like Styrofoam, made me think of the flick APE. On the other hand the bad guys were, sigh, Russians with bad , sigh, teeth. So cliché. There's too much of talking and the shooting at the last reel of the flick is boring too, it takes too long. There's one body that's been slashed in two by an automatic door, done CGI. I never got into the characters and the acting was mediocre. Sad but true, indeed a dark descent.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
Jake_barnes Listen, if you're looking for Academy-Award consideration, go away! The deal with this film is this: it's entertaining, and fun, and the cast is fun to watch. If you're awake at 2am, and you've got nothing else happening, it's mindless entertainment and fun to watch. If anyone tries to go any deeper than that, you're an idiot. View this movie for what it is... mindless entertainment, and enjoy! Some films are made for a small budget, but the message and the story is clear... this one is a can't miss... Dean Cain "Out of Time" is always great to watch, and Hristo Shopov is as solid as he was in "Passion of the Christ." Enjoy!!
Wizard-8 As others have mentioned, this movie is a blatant rip-off of "Outland" - which itself was a rip-off of "High Noon". Still, this could have provided some decent exploitation entertainment. But except for a somewhat cool sequence involving someone getting hit by water, there is absolutely NOTHING fun or even momentarily distracting in this particular telling of the story. Low production values hurt, but there is also no sense of fun, no zip, no energy here. Not even worth seeing for free when it comes on cable.
BOB AUDET In a deep sea mining complex, a Federal Marshal (Dean Cain) tries to find out why miners are committing suicide ast such an alarming rate. Needless to say, there are corporate maneuvers being played as the company that owns the facility dispatches a team of hit men to kill him.This is by far the worst offering that UFO(the production company) has released and it is nearly a blatant rip-off of HIGH NOON and even for that matter the far superior OUTLAND (High Noon in space).Warning...if you see this on the shelf, pass it by and pick up either of the two aforementioned films...that will be a rental fee well spent!
