Un aficionado I expected to watch this movie for a long time. It is not easy always to get access to French or other non English speaking movies. I knew about the bad comments but the director previous work convinced me of this one. The story is interesting and the idea of a possible messiah in a jail is very compelling. The main character never talks too much and you never know exactly what was in his past. That is a good ingredient that several westerns exploited very well. The beginning promises a psychological thriller in space like Moon from Duncan Jones or the creation of a religious cult like the one existing in Alien 3. Unfortunately we don't get any or that, only the promise and the glimpses of what it could have been. The end is confusing to say the least and the director appeared to rush to end the movie. Some of the news in the trivia section may explain why this movie appears to be an unfinished work. Cutting the budget in half changes whatever the director had originally in mind. That is a shame because the movie had potential.

Vania Alban-Zapata I used to be a fan of Caro, being french and grown up in the 90's, and being a visual effects artist. I can't believe how bad this film come back turned out to be! I watched it all as respect for the cast, which is good, but to no avail... Poor story line, vague plot, even vaguer religious connotations. The references to Solaris really made me angry, being a fan of that film (the original Russian version, Tarkosky's). What nerve using such a mater piece with such superficiality! It does look like a production butchered film... but to be honest I found the production design bad, that mix of retro and space technology simply doesn't work here. And the visual effects and artistic direction very poor and repetitive. OK it seems like money was scarce... but also seems like no real effort was made. What a shame...Still, waiting for more Caro, this had to be an accident!

arkham6 Argh! OK, I am french Canadian. I have seen a lot a french movies, most of them I find are boring... but not all. In my book, Caro and Jeunet are the most able to provide a movie better than the "let's converse over a diner" we see so often. But maybe those two should leave sci-fi alone.In Dante 01 (from Caro), you will find the prisoners from Alien3 in the Alien:Resurrection set, with people all around that speak but never say anything but hollow babble. And boy that Chinese girl is bad. Really awful. Please stop acting, if ever you call that acting. Get a job at Burger King, whatever. That's it. Oh, yes, that is a movie that features SFX that are OK in Dr Who or The outer Limits, but these are TV shows, right?

JoeB131 Okay, I should realize one should avoid French films at all costs.The plot of this movie is that they build this really complex space station to house all of seven criminally insane inmates. A new scientist comes on board the station to introduce a nano-technology cure for their insanity, only to discover one of the inmates is in fact a super-being who can resurrect himself and others from the dead. Her mandate is to make it work even if she has to kill them all.The characters are all given evocative names from mythology and history... Sadly, they really didn't do much more to make them more distinctive. In fact, their heads are shaved and they all wear the same clothes, making the characters even harder to distinguish from one another.The ending makes not a lick of sense. Is there some rule that if you are making a pretentious Sci-Fi film, you need an ending that doesn't make a lick of sense?
