Pretty Good

Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I was a part of getting this film made and unlike some artists I can be honest about my own art. This is a B-Movie, but as B Movies go it is top notch. B-Movies get there name for many reasons, in our case, we were "B" for broke. We had almost no budget at all. Yet talented people banded together and did what they could with next to nothing but love for a cool little story. I don't often get excited reading screenplays by people who have never made a film before, but this screenplay got me to call a bunch of talented friends together to work for next to nothing and take a shot on something that had no shot to begin with. Only a good story can do that to people. This movie deserves to be seen because people gave their all when they had nothing to gain to get this on the screen. If we would have had millions it would Star an A-lister or two and the VFX would be flawless. So, I say to you movie lovers, lovers of science fiction. Watch this film knowing thousands were spent and lives were put on hold to tell this story on the screen. Grade this film knowing it's incredibly low budget and you too may give this film a ten. I made it, so I know EXACTLY where and when we could have done better, and I fairly give it a six. Those of you with your noses in the air, and your proud middle fingers number "1 Star" ratings. I would like you to put your life on hold, Star by writing a screenplay, then raise barely enough money to pay anyone a minimum wage, find a place to shoot, and cameras lights and equipment and do better then 5th Passenger before you take yourself seriously as a film "critic." We did Ok, and the film is worth watching if you truly like movies. If you only enjoy 40-200 million dollar blockbusters, then this isn't for you. Everyone else, enjoy the ride, it's a little cramped, and tight in here, this spaceship has one too many passengers aboard. Which one deserves to go? Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy a movie made by people who truly LOVE movies. We know, we're trying to make magic daily, not crush it beneath our egotistical toes.

Save yourself time and find something else to watch. Hell, throw some paint on the wall, and take in all those minutes it takes it to dry; you will still get more out of it than by watching this drivel.low budget does not mean that you can act like crap.. yet they do. low budget does not mean that CGI needs to be garbage.. yet it is. low budget does not mean that a story has to be a complete waste.. do you see where this is going? horrible film. Waste of time and bandwidth.

This movie casts several members of the Star Trek family. Manu Intyrami (Icheb, Star Trek Voyager), Tim Russ (Tuvok, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine), Arman Schimerman (Quark, Deep Space Nine), Martina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi, Start Trek The Next Generation, Star Trek Enterprise, First Contact, Star Trek Generations and 4 other Star Trek movies), Hana Hatae (Deep Space Nine, Star Trek The Next Generation, the daughter of transporter Chief Miles O'Brien) and Doug Jones from the upcoming series Star Trek Discovery. The combination of these actors as well as the other main character actors blends together very well. Although the plot does follow the same premise as the "Aliens" movies, these actors do bring their own distinct version of their characters to this movie. The CGI effects are very good and are convincing to the viewer. Some of the plot lines do tend to become slow at times, but the action scenes are very realistic. Being a Star Trek fan from the very beginning, I was impressed to see all the incredible talent these actors brought to this movie. To see these Star Trek actors in different roles was a nice change and they played their roles extremely well. I would add this movie to my Sci Fi collection.

I liked the acting for the most part in this film and there was a very nice surprise twist at the end that I didn't anticipate. It's always good when I can't predict how the film will end. Also the visual effects were very good, as was sound design. Well done!
