Nightflyers Movie Review

From its strained premise involving a half-baked mission to find an extraterrestrial entity to the sets that make a spaceship look like a living room straight from the pages of Architectural Digest, this one's a mistake, a silly mistake. Colored light and haze are used to hide the limited effects, though they become better in the second half. From a novella by George R.R. Martin; the original director, Fritz Kiersch, was replaced by Robert Collector, here using the pseudonym T. C. Blake.
