Anytime a film starts with the caption, "ten years earlier", you know you're in trouble. The weird thing about this is that I never saw it say it was back in the present. Did I blink and miss it? I don't know. I didn't see any difference from ten years earlier to the rest of the film.The story involves a group of soldiers that go to an ice planet to search for alien species the Mahar. When the group does stumble across them, they engage in a gun battle in which neither side hits anything. They all stand out in the open firing shot after shot, and yet no one dies. It's pathetic.
A huge part of the film is made up of people walking. They walk on the ice and in the underground tunnels. It would be better to have more action since the walking isn't for any sort of character development. Also the acting is atrocious and the characters are not likable.
My favorite part of the movie was when the ice worm with the mullet came crashing up through the ice and chomped into one of the soldiers, The group looks around, swings their guns into position and one of the soldiers cries out, "It's under the ice!" Yes, nicely done, master of the obvious.
