I watched this at home on DVD from my public library, my wife skipped.
I was a bit concerned by the somewhat low IMDb rating for this movie but had hopes based on the brief description. I have always been a Sci-Fi fan, especially for stories set in the future and involving space travel. After watching it the rating seems about right, maybe even a bit high.
The story starts good showing an 11-yr-old girl in a space suit in a large mine cavern. She is the child, she is on Osiris, she will need to be rescued. The story ends with her being rescued but the vast middle, even though it is barely over 90 minutes, seems long because it is mostly uninteresting. We see a futuristic bus traveling through wasteland. We see fights in a prison. We see rough-looking people getting high in a bar and threatening others.
So when the last scenes came my mind had pretty much turned itself off to the story. I watched the DVD extras, I was impressed by the team that is responsible for coming up with the story and filming it in Australia, their intentions were admirable but they just were not able to put together something that is really good and entertaining. Just mediocre.
