On the Shoulders of Giants (2012)

In the 23rd century mankind had finally travelled beyond the confines of Earth's solar system and made contact with intelligent extraterrestrials. New forms of atomic propulsion has made exploration to distant worlds possible. During the AndromedaÂ’s maiden voyage its Einstein-Rosen (ER) drive is successfully tested. A vessel equipped with an ER drive is capable of crossing interstellar distances by travelling through self-generated wormholes. The ER drive was designed by the child science genius N'tron Zepethar. Fifteen years earlier the starship Leviathan (with Zepethar aboard and propelled by his first version of an ER drive) disappeared on its maiden voyage. As the only other vessel equipped with an operational ER drive the Andromeda is reassigned to the Leviathan's rescue mission. The AndromedaÂ’s crew locates the crashed Leviathan on Theta-25L, a desolate planet 50 million light years from Earth. Whilst attempting to contact the Leviathan tragedy befalls the Andromeda's crew. After fifteen years on Theta-25L, Zepethar is the sole survivor of the Leviathan's crew. When the AndromedaÂ’s crew begin searching for answers to the LeviathanÂ’s demise it soon becomes apparent both Zepethar and Theta-25L harbour terrifying secretsÂ…

OMG looks like all the props and set were built with stuff from Home Depot and Pier 1 Imports

Should really be a comedy. Really. The costumes were bought at party city and someone stuck giant Doritos on the front. Its a definite goof. Good to watch for about 10 minutes

Total bore!

The only way to watch this digitally created borefest is to turn it off, search out a copy of the classic Forbidden Planet (of which it is a blatant rip-off) and sit back and enjoy it instead!

Home Made ?

Interesting idea, looks home made. Hard to watch however
