Refugees flee Earth to emerge from cryosleep in another bad situation.

Two stars of five.

Cinematography: 4/10 Usually plenty of light, but framing is iffy, and depth of field was poor.  Jumpiness is common; it has the look of recurrent missing frames.  All too often, nothing was in focus, and the level of graininess was high. Sound: 8/10 There were a few problems with sound effects, but the actors' voices picked up OK.  Some of the background music was rather good. Acting: 4/10 Looks unrehearsed, at least early on.  Gray Hawks' performance was terrible, as if he were doing an imitation of Brent Spiner as Data. Screenplay: 4/10 The first 15 minutes were awful.  Just two minutes of establishing material at the beginning would have made the first half of the film easier to take without giving the story away.  I nearly bailed.  The second half of the film was a bit better, with most loose ends tied up. Effects:  2/10 Special effects were unimpressive to just plain bad.
