On a distant planet in the future, General Lynex (Rachel Griffiths) has been leading immoral works under colonization company Exor. When the situation gets out of control, she intends to wipe out the population to cover up her crimes. Military pilot Kane Sommerville (Daniel MacPherson) learns of the scheme and tries to save his daughter Indi who is still on the planet. He crash lands to find Sy Lombrok (Kellan Lutz) who claims to be a nurse.
This is one of those smaller sci-fi movies that has found a space in the myriad of distribution streams. Kellan Lutz does not fill me with confidence. He's fine if somewhat forgettable. There are various flashbacks that don't help the tension. The story could be straight forward but none of it really helps. With the opening act with Indi, I assumed that it's her story but she disappears for most of the middle. The CGI action seems functional as far as modern movies go. The creature design is a step back. The positive is that it's a real creature effect but it's not a mobile design. There are real limitations which CGI could help. I also dislike the first appearance of a creature during a flashback. Obviously, Sy survives because it's a flashback. There are too many flaws to overlook despite some functional elements.
