Plot: Set in the further reaches of the galaxy, this sci-fi horror film, a cross between Forbidden Planet and Alien, tells the story of a spaceship commander's battle to protect the universe against the terrifying mutation-causing virus that threatens to wreak havoc upon the planet Phabton. The creatures created by the disease are nearly unstoppable so Commander Steve Kreiger has his hands full. The irony of the situation is that the sharp-fanged virus monsters came about as the result of Phabton scientist's attempts to create a virus to destroy the deadly Delta-Five virus ravaging the planet. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Reign of the amateurs...
Added 8/23/2004

This is basically a home movie with a fairly large budget.
Some of the worst acting to be seen... anywhere...
A rather pathetic attempt at an "Alien" clone of a film. The commentary at the back of the box promises "..State-of-the-art special effects.." - my response to that? HA HA HA

This may all sound rather harsh, but this film takes amateur film making to a new level of... amateurishness..!
The only decent thing in it are the sets, and the lighting which nearly succeed in duping you into thinking that this is in fact a 'real' movie.

And they say it is hard to get funding for a film...

Nice space/horror flick
Added 6/30/2003

Okay, so this movie isn't a great one, but it is entertaining. Marc Singer is always fun to watch. The rest of the cast wasn't so great. Some of the special effects impressed me. So it was fun to watch and i've watched it more than once so i guess it is a re watchable movie as well. I'd suggest it to anyone who likes lower budget sci fi/horror.

good try, but did not work................
Added 12/12/2002

Splashy special effects highlight this so-so
sci-fi movie about B movie favriote
mark Singer as a pilot of a ship that is called to
come to planet something-rather to help some scientists
stop an alien monster. The acting is not to convincing
and the dialogue is hockey, making this a fun and cheesy
little monster flick. Like the previous Viewer said, there is
nothing to special here, but fans of ALIEN copies will have a good time.

ok but not great

Marc Singer (V and Beastmeaster) patrols space as Commander Steve Krieger who ends up in a monstrous situation. This movie is similar to "Alien", but it lacks the really in depth character development that was crucial in that movie. The acting here, in my opinion, is also more mediocre.

The dialogue is a bit hokey at times and the alien scenes aren't terribly terrific (low budget special effects). I would, however, recommend this movie to sci-fi buffs who have already seen the four or five dozen really good sci-fi movies out there. It's an alright movie, but don't expect anything spectacular here.
