Astronaut wakes up from hibernation aboard a spaceship that obviously has some power malfunction. He cannot recall anything - he learns his name, Bower, from a label on his uniform, he finds a photo of woman, who he thinks is his wife, he can’t even recall why is he on board of that ship. Soon another crewmember wakes up from stasis, he recalls his own name as Lieutenant Payton, he remembers parts of their training, but just like Bower he is unsure what was the mission they were sent with. While looking around the room they discover that they are from shift number 6 that was suppose to be woken up to take care of the part of the journey, but the ship seems to be out of power and there are no signs of the shift number 5. Bower uses a technical duct to get to other parts of the ship and soon learns that they are not alone in the bowels of dark ship - some woman knocks him down and tries to steal his boots, but she escapes when some sort of carnivorous monster approaches. When bits of the memory are coming back to him he begins to realize in what horrible situation they are. It seems that those, who survived the attacks of the monsters are in hiding trying to find the way to survive on the ship drifting aimlessly in space and without any chances of being rescued. But their situation is much more complicated than it seems.

This film has everything - martial arts, alien species, martial arts, fake boobs, martial arts, the mystery and of course the martial arts. But don’t let this fool you - even though vast majority of the plot is copy of Alien, Tragedy of Poseidon and few other movies, the ending could be quite surprising and in a way almost brilliant. Of course the whole thing is far from being perfect on many levels, there are some really weak points in the plot, but still it is far better than some of the Hollywood productions.
