Snow finds himself arrested after being accused of espionage and murder. He is given an opportunity to redeem himself by rescuing the imprisoned president's daughter; Emilie Warnock. She was on a trip to MS One, a prison space facility where the criminals are kept under stasis control, to investigate how the prisoners are being treated. One prisoner escapes and releases the others entrapping Emilie and others inside the MS One. Snow is sent in to rescue only Emilie.
This film was directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger. This film was also written and produced by Luc Besson. This film has a decent story. However, it failed to provide any deep emotional attachment for its audience. This film was made purely to be an action science fiction film. Which is unfortunate because it was a great basic idea. The plot twists fail to provide any further tension for the story. The story is full of great sarcastic humor between the characters. There isn't any backstory provided for any of the other characters other than for Snow. The ending of the film did not fit well with the film. There was no reason for Snow and Emilie to be arrested after falling towards Earth (with remarkable speed). It also seems odd that Emilie has the mental ability to fully understand someone with dementia to solve a mystery. It also left an empty spot by failing to explain anything about the memory card (use or purpose). It is filmed way to clean cut to provide any real dramatic tension to the story. There is also way too much computer animation in this film and its obvious. The animation looks visually cheesy. The backdrop is good or providing the film with a dark atmosphere.
The cast worked great together. Guy Pearce played the role of Snow. He was great in his role. He did go over the top with the sarcasm. Maggie Grace played the role of Emilie Warnock. She was good in her role. She gave Snow a softer side. Vincent Regan played the role of Alex. He did good in his role. He did not over shadow Gilgun in anyway; which was needed for his character. Joseph Gilgun played the role of Hydell. He was great in his role giving the film a real villain to hate. Tim Plester played the role of Mace. He was good in his small role.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! It had all the basics down, but failed to provide anything more. It was a good science fiction film with plenty of action.
