In the 22nd century, seven explorers set out on a mission to earth's nearest sister planet, AURORA. Their mission - to survey and explore for future colonization. When their ship suddenly malfunctions, the crew is forced to crash land on the planet's surface, where crippling heat, poisonous water, and fierce storms threaten their lives at every turn. With a handful of supplies and little hope of rescue, their only option is a grueling four hundred mile trek to their ship's lost supply bunkers. To survive, the men will have to push their endurance to the limit and entrust their lives to a leader who will risk everything to succeed, no matter what the consequences.

Simply Perfect
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Essentially a story of survival. Five men on a trek across a desert. But not, necessarily a "desert planet." They crash in or by an ocean. Plenty of water there. They have to get across a desert. Okay. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. But earth is much the same. Breathable atmosphere and desert bordering ocean. Southern California, Northern Africa present the same geography. Not a lot of a-c-t-i-o-n as it is more of a psychological story than an action one.I gave it a four because I have been spoiled by modern special effects and glitzy production but the scenery during the desert day shots is great.
I rented this video from the Video shop for £2.50 and I felt thoroughly ripped off after watching about 20 minutes of it. Complete drab story-line, pathetic special effects and no plot. All it consisted off was a group of blokes camping at night in a tent, and walking across a desert through day. Thats it. Oh, and along the way, there was a sandstorm which was the highlight. I honestly can't believe this got made into a video. I could do better with my pet hamster, RC monster truck and camcorder. Anyway, after I watched about 20 minutes as I say, I just hit the fast forward button and watched the rest of the film in fast forward mode. I was looking forward to seeing some spaceship action or aliens etc, but all that I was presented with was these guys in fake space suits walking across the desert then having a cup of soup out of a thermos flask in the tent at night. Along the way, some guys died, but thats about as adventurous as it got. Severely NOT recommended to anyone, unless you want to become a vegetable.
Fundamentally a boring film. The idea could have made a good film, but this isn't it. It seems cheaply made, with little characterisation or acting abilities. To simulate an aline landscap they use a filter to give everything a strange colour. Very unimpressive. They walk for practically the entire film, and tat is as exciting as it gets
This is to the reviewer who mentioned that it was low budget and made on credits cards, so please give it its due. Sorry, that doesn't wash. I've seen other movies made on shoestring budgets that managed to be good despite their low budgets. And since most people won't know it was made on a shoestring budget, they only have the finished product to judge, and that seems to be lacking. Heck, Robt. Rodriguez made EL MARIACHI for $7000 (not including the soundtrack that now exists on the video; that was cleaned up by Columbia Pictures when they bought the rights, and spent $100,000 doing it) and look what he did; sometimes it's edited a bit too fast for me in one or two scenes)A movie lives or dies by what's on the screen, not the history behind the making of the movie.
