Trivia

Fan suspicion on first seeing the film was that some additional plot elements, specifically of the explanatory variety, were cut from the finished release. The scene that hints at just that occurs when Norah is separated from the team and winds up in the older, currently unused section of the base, and she finds some things in the captain's old locker. Eubank doesn't expand on that, unfortunately, but at 1:05:53 he does say "Some major nods there to people who want to get into that. A whole other mythos revealed right there." He adds only that "that's where you really get into the cosmic horror of it a bit. Obviously we take a lot of nods from Lovecraft." See more »

Goofs

When Norah, Emily and Smith arrive at the Roebuck Station, the on-screen title refers to it as a "Triton-Class Bore Site". A few minutes later, the voice of the automatic greeting system calls it "Titan-Class" instead, the same way it was defined by a similar system on the Kepler facility during the first act.

Quotes

Norah Price: There's a comfort in cynicism. There is a lot less to lose.

Crazy Credits

Just before the ending credits begin a news appears on the screen about the two survivors of the accident and a date is written on top "Sunday, August 7, 2050" which means the film is set in the year 2050. later on as the news continues another date is also visible "August 12, 2050". See more »

Well crafted B-movie fun
24 January 2020 | by trashymcjunkbox-1See all my reviews

It may be damning with faint praise, but it's better than I thought it would be. If you love sci-fi/fantasy/action genre films and don't go in expecting a masterpiece, you could have a good time. What it lacks in originality it makes up for in craft. It looks great, has fine actors doing good work, and nice production design. Kristen Stewart shows she has the chops to carry a movie, even without a stellar story, and it delivers enough good action and tension to make up for its shortcomings.
