Think about it, the ship makes a great "Closed Circle" horror story and the murderous mutants hunting the protagonists all make for a great survival horror feel. But what gets me the most is how the twist in the story comes out and how it affected me:
SPOILERS AHEAD:
I'm kind of a religious guy and a Catholic one at that. It's mentioned somewhere on the main page that Gallo was a satanic archetype of sorts and I have to agree with that.
When the protagonists were on the bridge and he was gloating at them of how God had died and that they were on their own because the universe itself was GONE, I got really scared. I mean, I felt my heart get crushed by fear and despair when Gallo showed them that there were no stars to be seen beyond the bridge.
And yet, when it was shown that they were on the planet all along and had merely crashed into an ocean, I was filled with joy.
Gallo was wrong, was probably lying the whole time or somehow both and to me it was awesome. Like the Devil, he only made things LOOK bad for the protagonists. He showed them a glimpse of what was outside and, using their limited view, he tried to get them to his way of thinking. He was trying to convince them that they had reached the boundaries of the known universe or that the universe had simply ended while they slept. But then it was revealed that they were already on the planet Tannis and had been there all along.
I buy into the idea that sometimes, things only LOOK bad or SEEM bad, but once you get to see the whole picture, you realize that it was never really that bad to start with. It only APPEARED that way.
Don't know about everyone else and I'm sorry if this review isn't really clear but I'm going to say that I found this film very uplifting to say the least...
A Good Movie with a very enlightening and inspiring twist...
The movie itself was dark and scary.
