This is an american-australian movie. The main actors in the movie are VIN DIESEL, RADHA MITCHELL, KEITH DAVID AND CLAUDIA CHRISTIAN (of Farscape fame).
A starship interrupts its travel due to being hit by a comet, and the occupants are woken from their cryogenic sleep. The captain has died during the cryosleep (as in the movie Supernova), and the first officer (played by Radha Mitchell) or equivalent takes over. She attempts to jettison the 30 passengers also, but Riddock, a criminal (apparently a doctor according to a comment he makes) they have on board has sabotaged the jettison controls. Riddock is played by Vin Diesel. Cole Hauser plays a drug-addled cop whose swearing is done for no reason at all. Like the director himself, Hauser's cop lacks any originality. The movie does an "Alien" upon us, and does not surprise us a little bit.

Some of the passengers are muslims, and the movie shows them praying for their survival. They crashland on a desert world, full of dinosaur carcasses. They find an abandoned mining settlement, but all the geologists are dead, killed by 'hitchhock' style killer birds which fear light. Unfortunately there is going to be a total eclipse, a major problem.

The movie does not have any characterisation. We do not really get to know any of the characters at all. The director is only concerned with killing them off. The acting is mostly wooden, and we cannot care less about what happens next. Even the main character dies off at the end in a stupid way. This movie is billed as a sci-fi movie, but it does not make the mark. Watch it if you want, but it's not very enjoyable. The criminal ends up being the good guy, which does not make sense, as at first he goes around trying to kill people. I have one final question: how come the alien killer birds survived many years without having any prey to eat?

Riddock, in a sticky situation asks the muslim cleric played by Keith David whether he still has faith after everyone is being killed off. The muslim has no answer in the movie. Riddock says that he beleives in God and says that he hates Him and insults God outright. He does not know that Jesus Christ died for him too. Of course, if there were a Christian in the movie, he could give an answer that Christ has given meaning to suffering and death, transforming it. We have to unite our suffering in redemption with those of Jesus on the Cross.
