CAUTION: SLIGHT SPOILER IN LAST PARAGRAPH, although I try to keep it vague.
This is the kind of movie you've got to be a fan of one of the cast or you probably won't want to bother seeing it. Considering Meg Foster's one of my favorites, I obviously took the time to look at it.
One interesting feature is the interplay between some of the characters. The most obvious is that between Zack Delano (played by Billy Wirth) and Dar Mullins (played by Cady Huffman).
The not-quite-so-obvious interplay, though, is that between Capt. Gray (played by Edward Albert) and Cmdr. Lasser (played by Meg Foster). Meg puts on that ice-queen persona that she can be so good at, playing the cool and disciplined starship commander, obviously not liking having to kowtow to galactic bureaucrats, but putting up with it and insisting that her subordinates like Capt. Gray do likewise.
Until, in the end, she and Capt. Gray finally DO see eye-to-eye on something, he kind of gives her a thumbs-up, and she gives a VERY slight smile, just a little breaking of that iciness but kind of sweet.
