Storyline

It has been 25 years since the ore spaceship Siberia was last heard from. Unfortunately, it is now on a collision course with the communications station Comstat 5 which is orbiting Mars. After one successful maneuver to avoid the Siberia, it rams Comstat 5 and the crew soon finds that the Siberia crew is dead and the reason that it has been missing for 25 years. But that reason is trying to destroy them all as it destroyed the Siberia crew.

User Reviews

standard 90s sci-fi actioner

This film represents one of my favourite genres - 1990s sci-fi action (usually Alien rip-off) taking space on a spaceship or a space station. If you know what kind of genre I am talking about, you will know what to expect from this film.

The cast is multinational, where pretty much everyone is a stereotype to some extend. Or described using the basic characteristic features from a particular nationality. The plot usually involves a small crew (even on a huge spaceship) coming across some alien creature and having to fight for survival. In this case, the enemy is a Russian android infected by some unknown virus (that's never really explained). It's a pity that Frank Zagarino (a.k.a. the Shadowchaser) only gets a limited screen time and barely uses his martial arts skills. The rest of the cast is OK, especially Musetta Vander is easy on the eye (even though her fake Russian accents is terrible).

The part I have always liked about these films is that the producers use any factory they can to stand in for the spaceship/space station. It's simply hilarious. So get yourself some popcorn and some beer and enjoy. I know I will :)
