This is a genuinely bad movie. I feel bad, really bad, for the people who made it... It starts off with some dramatic potential and nice effects. Plus Liv Tyler and Jerry O'Connell. It begins as some sort of satire of 70s space films. Then it all just goes terribly wrong. They filmed a bunch of scenes, threw in some sex, an awful sub-plot about gerbil babies, presumably ran out of money, and glued it all together to make this weird disaster.
