A shuttlecraft crew is killed by a creature that hatches from a rock they found on Mars. The shuttle is hauled into Space station L-5. L-5's reactor goes critical and it blows up, but the repair crew on the shuttle use it to escape. Within the first half hour all of them, save two are killed by the creature. This was where I stopped paying attention. There was an hour to go with only roger and Adrienne trying to evade/kill the creature and make it to space depot Alpha 7 so they could resupply the ship and get to earth. As it turns out the creature has a crystal that allows it to control the ship. When Roger finally faces the creature, it speaks! It tells him and Adrienne that it only killed because it was scared. The creature's name is Gar. Gar needs the shuttle to try and get home. When that proves impossible, as Adrienne and Roger need it also, Gar elects to stay on the space depot after they dock and convert it into a spacecraft using the crystal. Adrienne and Roger are sad to leave their new friend Gar, but they return to earth.

This movie sucked and I don't mean it sucked and was funny because of it. The acting was atrocious.

1.) The commander of L-5 and some others are in a meeting about how [unwrite]ty the reactor is when the thing goes critical. Klaxons sound, etc. Yet they sit there for a few minutes before anyone decides to get up and find out what's going on.

2.) Its amazing that no one in the movie can act! The worst by far is the actress who plays Lt. Billie Lynn. Her hair is so [unwrite]ed up its laughable. And she's really grumpy. Its like watching Carla from Cheers in space.

3.) When the shuttle's original crew gets killed its because the creature shut off the air supply. But when you see the dead bodies you can hear the computer saying the air supply has been cut off. That's some computer! I didn't know sound traveled in a vacuum.

4.) For that matter, why bother having alarm klaxons on the shuttle? The creature tries the same thing with the air supply to kill Adrienne and Roger as he did to the original crew. They're asleep in another room when Roger wakes up and hears the very muffled sound of the klaxons through the door. Wouldn't it have made sense to have the klaxons sound in every room of the shuttle? If Roger hadn't woke up, well, he NEVER would have woke up!

NUDITY AND SEX: None

HUH?: All the doors on the ship are about 4 feet high so everyone has to bend over to go through them. There are no halls, just tunnels they have to crawl through. Who designed this ship, the Munchkins? Ernie Keebler? Billy Barty?

THE TALLY: There's not a whole lot more to say about this crappy movie. It just sucked. The acting was, well, beneath the level of your average Junior High School play. Even though the part where Gar, the alien, turns out to be a good guy is a small twist to the plot, it comes too little too late. If you make it to this part you'll most likely regret you did. I wonder if the people that were in this movie regret it? I do.
