This was just a movie about boats and roaming around in the fog and boy did it suck. Very boring movie that didn't deliver on anything it advertised. It was like Beyond the Thunderdome without anything that made it good. Some even say this is like water world but I remember that movie actually having scenes that kept you awake.
If you do choose to watch The Colony of your own volition just know that this is a very long and bland movie. It takes like an hour and 20 minutes before you even get to see the lead character fire her space gun. The ending is right on par with the monotone pace of the film and for some reason this movie is filled with more fog than a cheap dance club. The entire movie is just fog everywhere...even the final scene is plagued by fog. I guess they did that so they wouldn't have to spend money on actually creating backgrounds. Not like that be difficult since a broken down cargo ship is the entirety of this movies scenery.
I couldn't say for sure just how bad this movie is that will be up to you but it certainly is worth a solid 4 for me. The best part of the film is the first 5 minutes because that's the only part of this movie that feels like a sci-fi space film. It also doesn't help that the movie is somewhat predictable but still manages to be highly anticlimactic. Usually you'll get a worthwhile ending to a predictable film but not this one.
Also I'm quite sure I saw a plot like this on an episode of Star Trek once. Not as extreme but a similar plot where a planets species could not reproduce except...they just made clones of everyone instead and forced them pre-assigned jobs in society (don't worry that's not the plot of this movie).
Overall this movie is highly forgettable because it's so bland.
