This is a neat little B-movie Sci-Fi flick, with interesting if not totally original plot, and I have to say the one thing that I really like about good B-movies is that, even when the actors are terrible, at least they're honest. You can tell that here's someone who likes making movies - even if the delivery of the lines are stilted.

This movie's like that: it's a simple story about a soldier who believes in the order of things (the government which turns out to be corrupt, including some of his senior officers) - who gets sent on a fake mission to a penal colony, where one criminal mastermind is in cahoots with the corrupt government regarding mining rights to a mineral which will bring them a fortune. No great shakes, but some interesting throwing themselves against the rocks scene and some feisty repartee between our hero and heroine, which is always good for the soul.
