With a decent cast and pretty good cinematography, this movie ended up being a huge dissapointment. The director and writers really let this one down. Even though the cast is quite small, most of the characters were basically extras with zero development. The hamfisted foreshadowing the director tried to employ was so obvious you knew exactly what was going to happen about 2 minutes before every event. The film jumped from one moment of action to the next so quickly that spatial continuity went out the window, which is impressive as the setting is so small it should have been easy for the audience to keep their bearings while moving throughout the ship. It felt to me that the director was so focused on delivering visually impressive shots (which they did) that the narrative was simply an after thought. If they would have taken the time to establish the setting, had a few moments of peace between major plot events, and actually tried to give the characters a small semblance of a survival instinct, this film would have been much better off.
