Found this one at my local Redbox under the comedy section. Starring Liv Tyler as the newest officer (XO of the ship) assigned to the named station she works to integrate herself into the social setting of the station before an asteriod hits the station. At least that's what the description said.<div><br /></div><div>The reason I picked up this film is that the hook is that the station setting is not a modern one although the film is but one in which 1970s technology and social mores are used. To me I thought this might make for some interesting SF ideas. </div><div><br /></div><div>MY opinion is that for setting and props they did pretty good. The cigarette lighter as part of the bridge counsel and the little bot robots were pretty right on. The failures were that this wasn't a comedy. This was one of those period neighborhood dramas in which everyone has secrets and problems that get revealed in inappropriate ways. Liv Tyler's character is the only female officer and all the other officers wives want to know why she isn't married with kids and is instead pursueing a career.</div><div><br /></div><div>Rated R for nudity, adult situations, sexual situations, drug use (70s style), gerbil canniblism and mother-in-law abandonment check it out if you want to but not with anyone who didn't live through the 70s and be warned (spoiler) the asteroid didn't even hit the station, but you might get some good setting ideas.</div>
