After hearing the story of how this project came to be, I am actually surprised how well it has come together. Yes there are a few places where it can be improved, Hopefully on the next chapter the crew will improve, But for the Movie itself, for what is is without having the big budget for special effects and all the action and glitter. To me it was more of a brand new crew trying to find a connection between each other and how to pull off an amazing feat with little to no experience. I would love to see how the crew will take on the next chapter in their voyages and to see the future improvements from these film makers.

Okay, the movie had some interesting concepts, a future starship in a time when humanity has colonized the stars, and different factions run their own spaceships, hunting smugglers and pirates. A formerly wealthy family buys a ship and a captain's commission for their aristocratic son, but he really has no idea how to command a ship.

The sets are kind of nice for the budget they must have had, and the optical effects are decent, but any nerd can render nice looking spaceships on their computer these days.

The story is slow-paced, with dragged scenes of the crew and their problems. There are a bunch of plot threads that don't go anywhere, like the Marines who are supposedly part of a religious cult, but they don't go anywhere with it.

The other thing that struck me as strange, was no female cast members. I think there was one character who must have been someone's grandmother reading a letter from home. "READ THE LINE, NANA!" but we are to believe the space force of the future is all male?

The uniforms look like someone got them at a Navy Surplus store, which again, it's 600 years in the future, and you haven't advanced your clothing technology any?

The real problem was the acting. None of these guys could act. And looking at the IMBD page, most of them only have credits for this. This movie might have had a lot more heft if it had better dialog, better actors and a more concise plot.

The ending is open ended, like the people who made this really expect their to be sequels after they sold it to Amazon Prime for whatever they bought it for.

YUP I SAY 10/10

With Covid lock-down,I have been watching an endless stream of sci fi movies and eating to much. Today I found this gem staring at me in my recommendations list of prime.

At first glance I thought,nah,but my wife was at work so I figured, what the hell , why not.

Glad I did. At first the acting was a little amateurish but when you have watched B movies all your life you get used to it. Then the story started to come out as to who the crew was and the captain. I then realized that it was like a first session in a traveler game( a sci fi roleplaying game that has been around as long as DND). Once I started to see it as a game, I began seeing each character as a archetype,The noble Commander,the professional soldier, teh computer hacker etc.

Now watching it I began to imagine myself as the characters. Friggin great show. I love the story line, simple and classic. The fight was epic at the end, spoiler, the Chimera rolling over trying to get a manual shot was awesome.

The sneaky last shot by the crippled ship , fantastic.

Limping back to the star-base for repairs, classic ending to a fun session.

I will watch this more then once, or even twice. I will also buy the series, who knows, maybe my next Traveler campaign will be based off this world.

Better then startrek.yup I said it.

You want classic sci fi , this is the show.......
