I was originally going to write a review panning this film. Don't get me wrong, it's terrible, but the blame really can't be placed on any one person. It seems that just about anyone with any visibility - the director and actors for the most part - ended up getting screwed by bad producing, bad luck, bad karma, bad juju. I won't comment on the acting since bad directing and editing can ruin an otherwise good performance. I won't comment on the directing, at least, um, not directly, since this had multiple directors and multiple other hand interfering with things. I'll just comment on general silliness.
Spacecraft interior scenes that rock like it's a sailing vessel? Sure, it could kind of be justified if everyone was weightless, but they've got artificial gravity so everything should be steady as a rock.
A stupid obviously-a-man-in-a-costume robot with a limp that looks like it came straight out of Metropolis.
A computer everyone calls Sweetie, for no apparent reason. Thankfully the computer is there so its reporting to the crew can fill in the gaps caused by too many people messing around with the script. Thankfully, too, the computer is there to count down the seconds to near-calamity.
So yeah, this movie should be avoided. I feel for everyone involved in this.
