Neat German sci-fi movie. Very Alien-esque and slickly produced.

The thing that stood out most to me was the design. Everything takes place in the grimy, dimly lit corridors of the ship or, with a little help from some creative digital set extension, the giant empty spaces of the cargo hold. Everyone is costumed in winter gear and there is often moisture or even snow and frost, the result is a very cold, dark and generally inhospitable environment.

Having only seen the dvd cover, I loved not know exactly what kind of sci-fi this would be, Should I expect heavy philosophy, horror, action, scary monsters? It's great not to know, because there are a few mysterious noises and shadows at the beginning that create a lot of tension and suspense.

I don't want to say to much in the unlikely event someone finds this dvd and decides to watch it, but I will say that although it's pretty slow paced throughout, it's a pretty neat sci-fi thriller that has a lot of great moments.
