A series of random vignettes with a science fiction bent: A mission to Mars goes awry, things get hairy on a space station, toxic red dust wipes people out, folks are used as an involuntary energy score by some creep, weird stuff happens on a space train, a gal gets taken over by a computer program in futuristic Japan, and a woman gets replaced by a double.
The problem with this omnibus affair is that the stories tend to be too short and hence don't pack much in the way of punch. Moreover, there's a serious lack of cohesion, so everything doesn't add up to much. Fortunately, things unfold at a cracking pace, the CGI effects are pretty good considering the modest budget, and there's a wealth of funky visuals evident throughout, so overall this item rates as a perfectly acceptable diversion.
