Dr Keith ORBIT??? SERIOUSLY??? As others have written, this is a bunch of cliches cobbled together around an over-loud soundtrack and self-indulgent CGI effects that are far too glitzy, far too fast and far too unnecessary to the plot. Then we come to the terrible acting, the completely predictable plot (well, it would be - it was lifted straight out of Top Gun and every film ever made about misbehaving computers ...) and the huge plot holes and totally impossible situations. Result: a mega-turkey. Some films are so bad they are funny. This one is so bad it is just dreadful. I managed 20 minutes, and only because I am an ornery so-and-so and had a cup of coffee to finish before returning to my day job.

No acting to speak of, soporific directing, dialogue-by-numbers, poor Victor Maddern looks ridiculous as the CID man with the obligatory trench coat and pipe.

Dreadful beyond comprehension. Sandra Dorne can barely act, Vida Hope can't act at all, and the often excellent (if usually typecast) Ferdie Mayne has been given terrible lines to work with. Leslie Dwyer is reliable as always, in possibly his nastiest part ever. The cinematography is muddy, and the editing clunky. The ending is meaningless. The only bright spot is the hilarious poster, which bears zero relationship to the plot.
