It's got shades of the "Quatermass Xperiment" (1955) to it, this, as we discover that heartthrob astronaut "Patrick" (Justin Lazard) - who just happens to be the son of an hard-nosed US senator (James Cromwell) - returns to Earth after a mission. Now unlike with the first of these not-so-classic sci-fi films, this time it's the man who needs to breed and boy does he have a go. No woman is safe - but none of them are "Eve" (Natasha Henstridge). She is the woman of his dreams but is secure in a facility managed by "Laura" (Marg Helgenberger). Well, predictably, it turns out that this place isn't that impenetrable after all and soon it falls to "Lennox" (Michael Madsen) to ride to the rescue before their copulation becomes a cosmic event. The whole film is just poor. The writing and the acting completely lack originality or vitality and the special effects are straight out of an episode of the contemporary "Stargate-SG1". The ending is actually quite funny and so obviously designed to tee up a trequal - can't wait for that. Can it be worse? I wouldn't bet against it!
