This is a movie about a several groups of teenage boys who get transported to an alien planet to play some sort of Survival Game. But something goes wrong and most of the boys don't make it so the handful that did get through, though from different teams, are forced to work together to survive and figure out a way to get back to earth.The acting is terrible, the plot is all over the place, and the dialog is annoying to the ears. This is suppose to be a film about teamwork so that the members of the team can survive, but sometimes they kick a kid out of the group because he is humanly flawed, even though in a situation like this, they need every man they have to strengthen their chances of survival.I think this is a really, really bad rip off of Robert Heinlein's "Tunnel in the Sky". Now there would be a movie I would pay to see.

I was utterly surprised at how poorly this movie was reviewed by some people.Bottom line, this movie had me in its grips from almost the beginning.While perhaps there were a few forced moments in the plot, I really didn't know what was going to happen, and yes, I cared about the characters.I watched this with my 9-year-old son and we both like it.For me there was an appropriate amount of mystery, and I even liked the spareness of the setting, the dialog and the plot.This movie is not about space. It's about PEOPLE.

You all got it wrong, this about trust, friendship and losing and finding friends. Friends you would die for. It takes a great deal of thought to get to this point, cost is not a consideration to this fact. I believe they have accomplished this well, Tyl & Eli did very well in my book. They show the compassion to help other players in life. Just as people today only think about themselves. The point of sharing and giving to others or even just compassion in relationships. In a time in the future that is so much like the world today. it is a little rough.I have imagination to fill in the blanks. Hey had to register for this cuz some want all the glitz and glamor. Sol got it done with less than Hollywood and i believe they did well!

From the beginning, people act like they know what they're doing but we really have no idea what the movie is about.Eventually, we get the plot, more or less. The idea is this is some kind of competition on a deserted planet. This is a sci-fi movie, and the whole movie is filmed at the beach. I got tricked by the label sci-fi and the idea of a foreign planet, but really this is just a bunch of guys at the beach.The movie is bad. I think normally that makes me puke would get a 1. It's not at that level, but it still gets the worst score for the following reason: - Not a single interesting character. I can't distinguish their personality and I don't even now any of their names. - Not a single smile for 99% of the movie. The characters try to act serious the whole time, and smile only to make smart ass comments. - This one ought to convince you: THERE'S NO SINGLE GIRL.
