When two men emerge from a deep sleep in the middle of space, they discover that they have no memories of who they are and where they're going. But their memory loss pales in comparison to the problem of the murderous warriors on board their ship who don't want to leave anyone alive.
Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Cpl. Bower (Ben Foster) wakes up from hyper-sleep to find that they have selective amnesia from the experience. It is a rude awakening to a seemingly dead spaceship, and later to find that they may be hors d'oeuvres.
The film passes the time, and everyone tries very hard. However, there are only so many ways to do space kung-fu and many other mischievous things. Antje Traue adds a little energy to the story.
I am not saying that you will not like the movie. Many people want the formula and nothing too innovative. If you are looking for something exceptional or innovative, you have come to the wrong place. Watch the original “Planet of the Apes” for a better ending surprise and escape.
I have only seen the Blu-Ray disc, so I cannot compare it to the other presentations, a theatrical trailer, and much more. Be sure to take the time for the Audio Commentary with director Christian Alvart and producer Jeremy Bolt. This is one of the few movies for which the DVD extras do not contribute to its enhancement.
