Featured review
I found this to be a good science fiction movie, although the special effects were weak. It has a crew revolt, ala The Caine Mutiny as noted in another review, as they have to overcome the mental breakdown of the station's commander to combat a fast-growing deadly fungus. It has elements of realism harking back to The Thing from Outer Space and the authorities at space command actually show intelligence by anticipating actions taken by the crew, understanding the nature of the fungus, and offering a possible solution to saving the crew and station.
If you can ignore the lack of good special effects, this movie is worth the time.
