I was pretty much captivated by the lead actress and would have turned it off after 15 minutes if not for her. That face! My guess is she played some kind of sport growing up because she's athletic and easily the best part about this movie since she lends some credibility to the action sequences and has amazingly expressive eyes. As an aside Hollywood seems to have forgotten how important facial expressions are in conveying what is going on, preferring to dazzle with effects and hammer you over the head with inane dialogue.Anywho, Chuchran does a great job, but it's just too rough with too little plot for anyone to overcome.

There is almost no plot after a scout ship crashes on unknown planet, unless you count Kate traveling 60 kilometers over semi-mountainous terrain to rescue her injured captain and then a score more to find the crash site so she can send a distress beacon.There is very little dialogue for at least half the movie, which is good because Danielle Chuchran delivers it poorly in quick but flat lines.One thing is for certain. Kate, who has lived all her two-score years of life on a space ship is in physical shape that boggles the mind. She runs and climbs and runs and climbs. In crashing, Kate falls out of the scout ship and plummets apparently miles but opens a tiny chute about 50 feet above the water and survives. Then she gets knocked out and captured, but her captor is gone when she wakes up so she escapes. He or another of the natives (all wearing masks) traps her again, but she escapes again by simply climbing away. Chased by a half-dozen or more natives who are almost on top of her, somehow she is magically away from them and "safe". Three monsters corner her with three arrows left so she climbs a sheer cliff, then shoots at least twice that many arrows to kill them all.More running, more impossible fighting. The monsters have 4 inch claws but never use them and outweigh Kate 2-1 but she defeats several of them in hand to hand several times.Finally some plot and dialogue with about 20 minutes left in this 1-1/2 hour film. And the plot is not that great.In this part of the movie, natives remove their clumsy masks which appeared to be for breathing, but apparently they don't need them.Chuchran has a pretty enough face, if you enjoy looking at a dirty girl with unkempt hair. But she is not enough to carry this movie with its ridiculous fights and lame plot. Wait til you see the ending.

The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: Earth has been made unlivable. Seven colony ships left Earth, each looking for a new planet on which to live. The film starts in one of those ships, and it has long since lost contact with the others. Further, after 47 years, the original crew is gone except for Captain Hunter. Half a dozen teens spend much of their time training in combat.Kate finds a wormhole to a possibly feasible planet. The captain gets convinced. So the ship heads through, only to encounter disaster in a space born rock field. The captain and some of the teens survive the crash of their space ship.Delineation of conflicts: The humans are not alone on their new planet. There are some humanoids with blades and guns, but also some bipedal monsters. The monsters like to kill members of the other groups. The humanoids bicker among themselves, and decide, on the whole, not to like the newcomers.The Captain gets seriously wounded early on, and holes up with his radio. The teens except Kate get killed or captured soon after planet fall. So, most of the film is Kate against the world and its natives.One of the dissenters among the humanoids, Rogan, might lend her a hand, but her finely honed battle training does not seem to recognize that. He rescues her three times, she tries to kill him four times.Resolution: There are not all that many directions for this elimination derby can go. In any case, rest assured that Kate gets to run a lot.

One of the 7 spaceships carrying the surviving humans from a poisoned Earth passes through a wormhole and then crashes, stranding the surviving survivors in a place which looks suspiciously like Utah. Well-trained survival expert (the surviviest of the surviving survivors) and hottie Kate (Danielle Chuchran) faces off against Mad Max warriors and some monsters while running a great deal, swimming a bit, fighting a lot, and otherwise occupying time until we arrive a twist which has been obvious from about 10 minutes in to all except those who have never seen a film before.Miss Chuchran is physically very impressive, and deals with the considerable physical requirements of her role very well: her thesping is not quite so impressive. The scenery is fantastic, and the look of this Kickstarter-funded movie is impressive: the visuals mean that you are often unaware that this is a low budget movie. The special effects are better than the budgetary considerations would have you believe, and the film is technically well made - beautifully photographed, good sound, well edited, a pleasing score, and so on.It is let down in the writing. The story is completely predictable, and you can list the influences as they pass by - the whole thing is cobbled together out of bits taken from other films. It's a shame - what's seen on screen deserves better than the second hand tripe it's hung on.
