Avoided it for as long as I could

Warning: Spoilers
but watched this turkey today.

In the behind the scenes, the director (and I use that term loosely) says that being from Scotland, he's going to get a bunch of fat (expletives) who will tell him he can't do something. Too bad he didn't listen.

The plot is that a crew of 126 mercenaries are tasked with guarding one prisoner. Except they don't know who they are guarding. Or why. Well their badly rendered CGI ship is attacked by other badly rendered CGI ships, and you don't know who is fighting who or care.

The survivors land on a planet, and first thing I could tell. No chicks in this movie. Already a bad sign. They set up a tent that each of them had some components for (what a lucky break) and are systematically picked off by some kind of unknown monster that can't be killed by futuristic weapons but can be killed by old-style bullets.

Turns out their prisoner was a cult leader who had to get to this planet to bring about the end of the universe. and they just happened to pass this planet. What a lucky break that was.

I have to comment on the lead, playing a character named "Captain Morgan". Like maybe that's what the writer was drinking while penning the script. The actor is an overdeveloped body builder who looks kind of silly in this role.
