A mining company on the moon has one of its bases damaged by a meteor storm. Some of the rocks break open after finding their way into the station. Some sort of life form is detected; it multiplies rapidly. Communications are out; attempts to re-assert communications fail.
Ava gets a knick on her finger through which she is infected. This gives rise to a rapidly accelerated pregnancy. She gives birth, but no one will believe her.
Bruce Johns gets cloned by the aliens. It takes the Colonel and the Dr a long time to figure this out. In the meantime, they blame Ava and keep her locked up. After a pleasant chat, they let her go and enlist her help.
The alien, as Bruce Johns, starts to shut down their oxygen supply system. They attempt a counter-strike, but this fails badly. Will their next attempt? Does anyone survive this one?
------Scores-------
Cinematography: 4/10 Dark, with shadows placed so that significant things are hard to make out, but trivial objects are clear as day.
Sound: 8/10 Reasonably good.
Acting: 1/10 Zounds. Terrible. Brendan Fehr: better in Roswell or Bones or CSI:Miami; not all that believable as a staff physician on a moon base. Christian Slater: one of his worst performances ever. Amy Matysio: have not encountered her before, and this was a bad start. Michael Therriault: plays a weak, incompetent whom no one believes, and who is short on emotional stability. Why would such a character ever be hired for work in space?
Screenplay: 1/10 Absurd dialog. Weak, derivative story. Logical mistakes aplenty.
SFX: 0/10 Terrible. The opening sequence with the meteor storm was laughably bad. Creature effects were ridiculous.
score 1/10
