The dialogue is kept direct and to the point so as not to confuse audiences any further than necessary. All of the performances share a similar forced rigidity to them. Stephen Billington plays Julian, Linette Beumont as his wife Maya and Damien Thomas as Kaikora, the guy that's going to sort the problem.Each of their performances adds to the slight coldness and creepiness ithe film has but at the same time kind of lessens the emotional impact of the life and death conflict that is going on.
Simple set design has been used to create the futuristic setting. It’s pretty bland but that helps with the timeless aspect of the look. Costume is always difficult when depicting the future, this film sticks to unobtrusive classic clothing, the staple polo neck sweater with a minor sore thumb being the homemade Star Trek number that the transporter stewardess is wearing.
A subtle soundtrack plays in the background then gets a bit more punchy when the action sequence comes along. Listen out for the X-files-ey music which accompanies the end credits and enormous crew list which is worth persevering with due to the simple stinger presented at the end.
