This movie might be on my list for top 10 worst films I have ever seen.  I only watched it because James Spader was in it and I think he's cute.  He was shirtless in a few scenes and he did bulk up for the role so that was nice, but by no means worth seeing this piece of cinematic crap.  I'm not sure how the whole 3 director thing worked out, but I can see why 2 of them wanted their names dropped out of the credits.  I wouldn't want it on my resume.

The breakdown:  Man, I don't even want to talk about this one for long.  Spader, Bassett, and a few other crew members are on a search & rescue medical space ship waiting for distress calls.  They get one from a mining facility in far off space and have to jump there.  They lose Forster in the jump and I think he got out of the movie just in time, lucky him!  They get there and find one strange survivor who has found an alien relic of unknown origin.  The stranger slowly picks them off one by one with his superhuman strength and regeneration capabilities.  At the end only Bassett and Spader have survived and it's a happy ending, well, I wouldn't say I was happy at the end, but there's no question the movie is over and the 2 crew left are going to be fine.

Where do I start?  There's 2 crew members who are only interested in having sex in zero gravity.  One who has named the A.I. computer on board "sweetie" and makes everyone else call her that.  I guess he confesses to her that he loves her before he gets killed.  Awkward.
Spader is a rehabilitated drug addict.  Bassett is a bitchy doctor who's not friendly.  The captain, Forster, was working on his thesis and seemed like a good guy before he got all messed up in the jump. 
The plot is uninteresting and lacks any originality.  The acting is poor by some of the little known actors.  I'd say it was good for about the first 20 minutes and then it all went to hell.  If you're at all familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000, this would be a fantastic movie for them to watch.

This movie was just laughably bad.  Bad, bad, bad.  If you get the chance to see it, DON'T!
I can barely give it 1/2 a ticket stub for James Spader's hotness.
