I found this film whilst searching for some Science-Fiction viewing to pass some time. I am not entirely sure what drew me to this movie - whether it was Sunny Mabrey herself or the write-up.
The first thing that should make you wonder about this film is that they couldn't even decide on a title. It has been called 'Teleios,' 'Beyond the Trek' - which I presume is so people searching for Star Trek Beyond would find it, and Deep Space.
Early on the premise of the film appears to have been based around the concept of human cloning. Earth has perfected the cloning technique and now full human clones are part of society. We learn that a crew of five clones have been sent from Earth to locate a ship, piloted by "standard" humans, which has gone silent. The mission objective is to retrieve a substance they were transporting.
Incredibly early on I realised that the film was rather disastrous. The acting portrayed on-screen was shockingly bad from all accounts and the plot seemed sketchy at best. Upon finding the human vessel the clones engage into the unknown - trying to find the missing crew, find the substance, which has gone missing, and journey back home to Earth.
At this point is seemed as though there were five writers, all in different rooms, working on the same film. We learnt of a plot where the substance itself was to fix Earth's water contamination issue - something not fully explained. We then learn that the human crew are missing apart from one lone engineer and an incredibly poorly acted droid. The clones then all start to behave erratically leading the viewer to believe something is in the air - it must be the substance. Shortly we discover the substance killed one member of the crew as it was actually contaminating water. The engineer explains how the company had fitted a filtration system aboard, so clearly knew it was poison. At no point is it ever explained why they wanted the substance.
After this the engineer explains that the crew started killing themselves as they were torn into two factions - one who wanted to destroy the substance and one that wanted to take it back home to Earth as it was their job (as ridiculous as it sounds). At this point another plot is thrown in - the clones receive message that their genetics are breaking down and they will all go insane due to the new emotions they will all be feeling.
The science soon becomes sketchy - apparently to fix their genes they need to replace all of their blood (five crew members - eight pints each - 40 pints of blood) with the one last remaining humans blood. However the maths behind this is two pints each, and the science is merely laughable.
Soon the crew make a discovery - it was in fact the droid that killed the crew. And no, this is too never explained how or why.
After a battle between droid and clone most of the crew are now killed. At this point Sunny's character now turns on her captain and kills him because she was angry as a child (say what?).
She lets the engineer go, with the murderous droid, back to Earth and flies his ship into the nearby planet to kill herself.
Nothing is explained, nothing makes sense and laughably it appears as though they left the ending open to a possible sequel...
I am giving it two stars only because Sunny Mabrey looked excellent in her uniform.
