Over the opening credits, a meteor crashes into Earth's Arctic Circle. The year is 1825 and the object is observed by a ship's crew. A glassy, humanoid insect-type creature emerges from the snow nearby and viciously begins killing off the crew. Obviously, this monster had a very bad trip
We quickly move 145 years into the present. A descendant of the ship's journalist is looking for the wreckage of "The HMS Fury". He is unshaven and adventurous Dean Cain (as James Clark "J.C." Ross). The ex-Superman TV series star finds the ship and starts to excavate. Unfortunately, the icy creature is also unearthed – and it is still really, really mad. Writer Rafael Jordan includes an interesting angle for Mr. Cain's character. Also, a "seeds of life" explanation is scientifically sound. However, there is nothing special about this story. Most of the time, you can see the cast and crew struggle to be believable on single takes and budget constraints.
