Other than its music and look, the movie is terrible (spoilers)


The story is about an obsessed professor trying to find the creator. WRONG. It's Mummy Dearest in space. Unf-ingbelievable. And Stewart is introduced as a mysterious secretive badass security officer, yet she is next to completely passive throughout the movie. She can't fight, she has no useful knowledge to deal with the situation and she hides zero secrets in fact (she being a semi-psychic does not count). Finally, the reanimated headless corpse. No. Just, no.
Not to mention the idiotic cardboard cut outs that most characters represent. F-ing SHAKMA! is better than this, storywise.

And I wanted to like this, I really, really did, but not even the cool (and sometimes inappropriate) OST and a very slick look for such a miniscule production can't save the terrible piece of crap story that sidetracked the actually interesting plotline which was obviously set up only to sucker people into giving this a chance.
