Storyline

The Lunar Base Ark is hit by a meteor shower and has severe damage. Colonel Gerard Brauchman sends Ava Cameron to repair a wing that is full of carbon monoxide. Dr. Lance Krauss warns that the gas may cause paranoia and hallucinations. Ava brings a sample of the meteor for analysis and Dr. Krauss finds that there are spores attached to the meteor. Ava accidentally cuts her finger in a sample but she hides the cut from the doctor. Soon Ava gets pregnant and delivers an alien offspring. Brauchman and Kraus believe that Ava is delusional. The offspring bites the crewman Bruce Johns and produces a clone of him.

Trivia

At the beginning of the movie, Christian Slater's character "activates" a sort of "communicator" and speaks into it. This is actually nothing more than a simple LED reading light for books and a popular give-away at tech fairs.

Goofs

At one point, they state that a sensor shows levels of carbon monoxide that are off the chart. However, the sensor indicates CO2, which is carbon dioxide; the abbreviation for carbon monoxide is CO.

User Reviews

A shockingly bad movie that should be avoided.

A tale of some characters, who were totally undeveloped so nobody cares about them, running around a darkened moon base so you can't see the lack of budget. And that's about it really. Lots of shouting and worrying about this and that, but you couldn't care less about any of it. Could go into detail but, you know what, I can't bring myself to waste more time on this. I have a general rule that I'll switch off after 10 minutes if it's this bad (life's too short), but I stupidly abandoned this because I couldn't believe it was so poor. It didn't get better, just more of the same running around shouting. All I can say is that I suffered this so you don't have to. Amazed that this movie had received 3.4 on IMDb.
