Synopsis

Two convicts, held in an orbiting detention facility above a post-apocalyptic earth, are hired by mega-corporation Hunsinger to perform a risky salvage mission down on the planet. They land, and work their way into a gigantic underground industrial complex, following a map to their ultimate destination, to retrieve and salvage... the item. Being prisoners, they are given little info, and are given credit toward early release as payment. They get more than they expected, and things go from bad to evil.

mpbonnema The movie is preset in a apocalyptic environment 2 convicts, that run explore and retreave missions to reduce theyr sentences, crash in a desert wich after making contact with theyr home base hear theyr sentences will be prolonger unless they complete theyr mission. They find the coordinates, after being suddenly attacked by survivors while they take a few minutes rest. After opening a manhole they go down into the tunnels of a old deserted former militairy installation. They appear to be alone down there, but suddenly they see items and hear sounds wich could mean presence presence of human life. The question is are they alone ....The movie is clearly low budget. I have to say of a lot of the apacolypse movies ive seen higher and lower budget, this is 1 of the best made. With a low amount of actors and a low number of special effects, they managed to keep the tension up to the end. I hope we will see more of the producers, because some of the movies that are hollywood supported realy do not even come close to the quality of this movie.
Casey Stendahl This movie is unique to say the least.Effects may not compare to a big budget horror film,yet it still invokes interest, and keeps you guessing till the end.The ending I admit, is terrible. Disappointing and not inventive yes the rest of the movie makes up for it. I feel it needs an alternative ending at the least. This film has good background effects but is slightly painful for the eye's yet this scene lasts only a few minutes. Some things were not completely done. More post production was required. The little things were overlooked.Overall 8/10
HughBennie-777 Extremely promising sci-fi thriller boasts some spectacular production design and moments of satisfying action only to become diluted of much of its suspense and believability. This the result of a weak third act, and, worse, a tragic choice to inject fantasy into the movie's gritty atmosphere. Acting is strangely fragmented in places--likely the result of a long period of production--but the two leads have plenty of charisma and chemistry, even if, for playing hardened convicts, it's hard to accept them as anything but average, clean-cut joes in space-suits. Script doesn't allow its lead characters much variety of emotion, and one wishes for more surprises, even violence, to erupt between them. Considering their predicament, the convicts' bickering relationship grows wearisome, as well. The movie's subterranean hell-hole is magnificent to look at, yet doesn't detract from the amount of pedestrian travel in the movie. Thus, the on-screen time devoted to showing the characters' entries, exits, and steps in-between is enough to justify a retitling: "The Men Who Walked An Entire 90 Minute Running Time". Decent score is reminiscent of "Blade Runner" era Vangelis, and a John Carpenter style dirge near the end provides some welcome nostalgia for decent sci-fi/horror music. Vivid cinematography is a plus, as well. As for an earlier blurber making the ignorant (and curiously anonymous) comment about the unprofessional nature of some of the actors, it's not only inaccurate, but if there's anything "groan-inducing" about the performances, it's the movie's unfortunate grafting on of fantasy characters burdened by flowery language ("sun spiders"?). The contrast in style is jarring and the resulting scenes become an intrusion. Great diabolical effects and a rousing finale make this well worth a watch. Undoubtedly, a better than average straight-to-video genre film and deserving of more attention.
ghostlander The film started not bad but turned into a complete nonsense quickly and finished with some idiotism. I don't mind the low budget, but the whole story line is plain awful and nothing compensates for its total ugliness, though acting and costumes are quite good. Even the initial scenes of the earth devastated terribly by some kind of a cataclysm bring rather a disappointment. There are too many scenes shot with no apparent purpose and too many events left unexplained.In general, it's just another amateur work which you could watch for free to kill some time and forget about it after all. If these boys and girls ever decide to produce another sci-fi film like this one, they should find a much better writer and place their characters in the clearest light.
