I like the additional human element they had there with the psycho guy. I mean, it's bad enough you're in a ship in space right next to a ball of burning hydrogen, but now you've got a crazy person TRYING to mess around. It added a random element, plus the whole "not everyone wants to see the world saved" thing was a different take. That's just me though :) A conventional sci-fi would probably have taken a purely scientific reason for things going awry. I like the additional human element they had there with the psycho guy.

I caught it a couple months back. The thing that bothered me in addition to the points you guys made was that the survivor of the first ship, the killer guy seems to have no real purpose in the story. I felt that the failures could have been explained by some other means that that the character really didn't advance the story at all. On the whole though the story was something new and that is something rare these days. I liked the movie quite a bit. I caught it a couple months back.

But small inconsistences aside i did enjoy this. Even when my flat mate went and googled to find out if people without space suits can survive in space for any length of time. You can. :) Just not very long. obviously. you could be right I maybe interpreted what it did wrong. But small inconsistences aside i did enjoy this.

The way I see it, the computer did take control after it detected there was damage being made, which is exactly what it did later on in the film. I noticed the same thing.

Overall I thought the film was decent. Nice ending as well.

Tried to get it out the other night with the gf. But she overruled me and got Dreamgirls instead. Suffice it to say that watching paint dry would have been a more enlightening experience. excellent mate – been wondering about this one for a while now.
