Very disappointing...

Absolutely the worst movie.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I agree with the previous reviewer that this movie is a remake of Outland - which was a remake of High Noon. These overseas, low-budget films are usually not very substantial but are watchable. I thought Dean Cain did a good job with the roll but, I must admit, I usually find him entertaining. Some of the other actors did credible work in this film: Scott Wiper, Art Mendelson, and Valentin Ganev as the doctor. But beyond the movie itself, this was Dan Knauf's first attempt at directing and I think he did a fine job with a limited budget. Remember, Knauf is the creator of the Emmy award winning HBO series, Carnivale, and you can see the genius at work here. With that in mind, I think this film reaches beyond the low budget feature it is and gives us a glimpse of the dark imagination of Knauf. Watchable for that reason alone.

It was like the writers of this movie found out they had Dean Cain cast and said "Well bugger that then, I think we can get by without a storyline". With so little plot you would think it would be easy to make it coherent and yet there were still holes. Cain is forced to carry the whole movie and while his performance isn't that bad his character lacks any depth and consequently is entirely uninteresting to watch. Low production value shines through as you watch bullets fly off what is obviously plastic tubing. If you like watching people walk people walk around and around in circles, this movie is for you, otherwise don't bother.

I thought Dark Descent was going to be a sea monster movie but it turned out to be an underwater high noon. I say this because the story was nearly identical and and lot of the lines were aswell. Dean Cain was good as usual and the movie was ok. If I wanted to see High Noon again I would have rented it!

This movie marks the return to that 80's scifi set look we all love and don't miss. At all. Although this is obviously a TV-quality movie I doubt it's possible to make a futuristic indoor movie any cheaper than this with it's few grey walled sets and a few meters of corridor which one soon comes to recognize. Although the movie is dreary and just plain silly, this is not it's major fault. You soon find yourself wondering how blatant a ripoff you can get away with when the plot, clothes and scenes are taken from the 80ies movie "Outland" with Sean Connery.Save yourself the time and money and rent something (anything) else.
