Sci-Fi is my favorite genre. That said, it's rare to find a good Sci-Fi movie or TV show (just watch the Sci-Fi channel for proof. OK in fairness, I haven't watched it in over a decade, but maybe that just makes my point). This movie was above average I'd say. The plot felt perhaps a bit too overtly political for me, but these days, perhaps that's hard to avoid. The effects were good, if not really memorable. The space station was nicely done.
