It's the year 2050, and life on earth is pretty much going down the
drain as multiple natural disasters seem to suggest that nature wants its
planet back. So a private organisation, Brightstar, sends space ship UDU
to Ceres, a planetoid between Mars and Jupiter, to terraform it using
nanite technology. It sounds like a simple enough mission of course, but
the crew of five isn't exactly friction-free: There's Commander Phil
(Michael Klug), his right hand man Tomcat (Jim Hilton), astrobiologist Ada
(Lara Jean Sullivan), and two man fighting for her attention, alphadog
wannabe Mitch (Justin Michael Terry) and the a bit too suave French pilot
Evan (Kurt Quinn) - and that said, Ada does her best to suppress her
emotions and put the mission above everything. Now that alone is explosive
enough, but then en route to Ceres, they happen across a Chinese spaceship
apparently on the very same mission as they are, who haven't only copied
their nanite technology, but weaponize it against them ... Space
is a pretty intense and also pretty unusual outer space thriller, one
that's not as much focused on the vastness of space and the spectacle that
comes with it as other films of its ilk but more on the almost
claustrophobic narrowness of the spaceship and the psychological tensions
resulting from it - and in that respect it makes perfect sense that it's
mostly shot found footage style via fixed "on board cameras"
instead of drawing attention to the cinematography. And a tight script and
solid cast really make this work as a really cool work of low budget
science fiction.
