Well, that and sci-fi horror hybrid (and a film that has, over the years been subject to a LOT of reappraisal) Event Horizon. Suprisingly, it would seem Ridley Scott’s classic Alien, and in particular the idea of a robot infiltrating the ranks of the space-faring crew for their own agenda, has had the biggest influence on Deep Space. It does so in the best way possible – it asks the kind of questions only science fiction can answer: questions about humanity, genetics, and how technology impacts the human condition.
The complete antithesis your typical direct to market sci-fi fare, Deep Space is one of those sci-fi movies that, despite using a lot of familiar tropes and cliches, still manages to rise above the generic flotsum of the DTV sci-fi market. Cracks appear within the group which threaten the success of the mission and their chances of getting home alive. Under the stress of isolation in outer space, the crew begins to exhibit unexpected character flaws. Genetically modified “superior” humans are sent to investigate the marooned ship and recover the only survivor. It is suspected that most of the crew had brutally killed each other for reasons unknown.
The deep space mining vessel Atromitos has been adrift for two years. Hoban, Christian Pitre, Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Ursula Mills, Weetus Cren, Michael Nouri | Written and Directed by Ian Truitner Stars: Sunny Mabrey, Lance Broadway, T.J.
