This movie might easily be viewed as Ex Machina set in space, and it is similar in enough aspects that it is inevitable that many viewers interpret A.I. Rising as a simple re-telling.
Actually there is much more in the concept for this movie (which is really about the risk of a stilted and limited relationship between a man and woman), but the wooden performance of the male lead (at least while working in English) and the lack of exposition about the company or the mission goals means the viewer has no reason to vest interest in any aspect.
The evolution of the female android is intended to tell us more about how a woman may act in such a situation, but the camera merely observes the action and does not show the people or the moments, so we don't see or feel each moment - only deduce its intent.
The result is a bland clinical relationship movie, set in space, but with no drama or insight.
If the leads and cinematographer of Solaris (2002) were to make this movie, there would be less sex, but much much more sizzle.

Milla Jovovich has proved she can make us care about a tough beautiful protagonist in Fifth Element and Resident Evil 1 and 2, but in Ultraviolet, she is simply a plastic heroine in a soulless movie.
The characters lack any quality of humanity; they are cardboard cutout anti-hero and villain. We are shown Violet's emotions through colour changes instead of through acting or dialogue.
The fight scenes are seamless but bland, lacking the artistry of the Matrix or Crouching Tiger, or the innovation of seeing gun kata for the first time in Equilibrium.
High-tech is used as a deus ex machina to wow us with CGI or as a plot device in the case of the "flat space" (bag of holding) that allows Violet to carry innumerable weapons.
This film is so bad it makes Aeon Flux looks good. I rest my case.
