Have not watched this in YEARS. There is so much in this film that only just pokes through the surface. You could develop a damn fine series from what this film only touches on.
Effects don’t all hold up, but still a good watch.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty sci-fi horror film where soldiers on a desolate mining planet must survive against their own self-replicating weapons, which have become a threat to everyone. It's a claustrophobic descent into paranoia where you can never trust what's human and what's machine.
