Goofs

Duncan states "It would take light-years just to send DNA through space..." implying it would take a very long time (which he confirms in his next line). A light-year is a measurement of distance, not time. Also, the planet they are going to is only 20 light-years away.

User Reviews

It's so bad, it's funny!

I can't even go for a three! SciFi should be ashamed. This one's a stinker! Not just the effects (non-existant except for the deep space teleporter), but the acting (pitiful). May it never darken your TV set! 10 lines of comments, huh? Hmmm, well, the lead character, Cain, is the guy from The Dead Zone who Johnny Smith sees will cause a nuclear destruction of Washington, Greg Stilson. His acting skills were perhaps the best of the rest of the team, but that is really not saying anything! The opening scene of the LSD camera work while two people were swinging machetes was so predictable, it was ridiculous! "Gee, I didn't see you walking in front of me when I cut your hand off!" Sheesh! Well, that's 10 lines, about 8 lines too many! ;-)
