After eight months of hyper-sleep, when Christopher 'Chris' McNiel (Jason London) and Theta Kaplan (Missy Crider) of a Mars cargo transport ship the Solar System Shipping Vessel No.17 (Triple S-17) awaken, they find out something has gone terribly wrong. They've woken up from hyper-sleep almost ten months past their scheduled time, find the ship's internals badly damaged, off course and almost no fuel. What's more, it's discovered the first shift killed each other. As the plot unfolds, something truly evil is discovered on board - an alien biological life form which can psychologically manipulate humans.

Critics,are you kidding us

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Starring the less drug addled of the London twins and Australian acting legend Alan Dale this little sci-fi movie is better than you'd likely assume.It tells the overused concept of folks in "Hyper sleep" during a long journey through space. Two of them awaken only to learn that they should have woken up many months earlier, the crew are eerily missing and for some reason their tempers seem to be flaring.Truth be told I'm sure I've seen this before, maybe an old Outer Limits episode or something similiar. The concept is bareable and competently enough handled but I couldn't get past the nagging feeling that it was more than slightly recycled.Building to a less than predictible finale this impressed me, and that's hard to do considering I'm really not a sci-fi guy.It still does rate just about an average film overall, but I appreciate the effort and it's certainly better than you'd expect it to be.The Good:Quite well madeThe Bad:Feels recycledThings I Learnt From This Movie:USA turns out to be responsible for every major movie conspiracy

This is easily the best made for Sci-Fi channel movie I've seen.I have to admit, I can't recall the last Sci-Fi channel I've watched from beginning to end, but I'll catch a few minutes of something here and there and they're all pretty pathetic.This movie is not full of cheesy CGI (computer generated images) or gore. The story is pretty good and the acting is the best I've seen in a made for Sci-Fi channel movie. The characters reactions to everything happening to them in the movie is believable and logical.I would rate this an easy 9-10 for a made for TV movie as it kept me entertained not from laughing and making fun of it like so many made for Sci-Fi channel productions, but from actually enjoying it as movies are meant to be.

Not a bad movie at all. Hey, it's not Citizen Kane, I admit. But there certainly is character development and a fairly original plot.Non-Hollywood type ending, too.I recommend it.....

There wasn't anything notably unique about this movie, but it still retained the scifi allure. The plot isn't as predictable as it could be and the special effects, although sparse, were well done. The acting was acceptable not exceptional. Overall this is a good movie to watch once when you have the time.
