    • Quotes

      Adam Wade: Your planet is not in the best of shape. The core is unstable.

      Sumuru: The quakes?

      Adam Wade: Yeah, they're caused by that snake monster you've got in the pit.

      Sumuru: Is that so? We mine oil & gas deep in the rock, and every time the world shakes, my engineers measure every movement.

      Adam Wade: But the... ah... sacrificial ceremony to the serpent goddess?

      Sumuru: Taxan? At one point our people got so scared of the quakes, that they turned to religion for an answer. Taxan has been feeding on that ever since

      Adam Wade: Taxan is...?

      Sumuru: A living serpent goddess. It was her warriors who shot you.

    average B movie
    As far as B-movies go, this is in the middle. I wasn't getting warm fuzzies during the opening crash/landing scene, graphics and simulated tension were horrible. It picked up in the middle and turned weak again at the end. I love how 900 year old spaceships just power on and fly with no issues. The overacting of Simona Williams (Taxan) was a little overkill, while Alexandra's character seemed a little more realistic. For a planet full of beautiful women, I little more skin might have helped moved this B-Grade up a little.
