Ranging from boring to excruciating, this film combines an hour of stock footage, a bizarre & often unpleasant soundtrack, grating narration, overacting by the only actor, and an uncompelling and often incomprehensible story to create a near utter waste of an hour and a quarter.
Brad Dourif is unlikeable in the only significant role, and his enunciation during the narration is often strange and unpleasant. Sadly, this narration is the only respite the viewer receives from otherwise interminable scenes of stock footage of astronauts and scuba divers floating about. I suppose these sequences are meant to be profound; I found them exceptionally tedious. They are not helped by the accompanying music. I also failed to suspend my disbelief when, presented with footage of Arctic divers, I was told that this was astronauts exploring a planet with a "sky made of ice" above a liquid hydrogen environment.
Points are for a mildly intriguing initial ten minutes and a somewhat interesting scientific discussion of wormhole travel.
3/10
