Here, we put a group of soldiers on a space station above Mars. They are part of once faction on Earth; the other is a Coalition that has an adversarial, or perceived terrorist role. Neither side trust the other and each is stockpiling weapons and missiles (although no one is willing to admit that). It is rumored that the "bad" guys are mining some incredibly powerful stuff on Mars and are moving toward the ability to totally destroy everything. Their motivations come into play, but are put aside for the time being. As the space crew watches, a huge cloud suddenly envelopes the Earth. It is assumed that the Coalition has caused this and now both groups need to figure out what happened. There is distrust and overzealousness on the part of the commander. She will have no soft talk, even if it means a mutual strike, destroying all life on Earth and in space. It is a powerful lesson we get here about hatred and distrust. The voice of reason seems to have little power.

Poor rethread of a tired theme.

Warning: Spoilers
Why a four? The antagonist is not the standard White male. I want to believe with more time the characters motivations could have been flushed out better. The theme: Top two in command at odd to proceed with fail safe protocol. Result: Adam and Eve to start over on Mars. The biggest disappointment: the waste of Joan Chen acting.
No way, no how.

If people as rationally unstable as that captain were allowed to be in charge of anything, we'd all be dead for sure, no matter how. I can't buy that the criteria for space captain would ever admit someone who jumps to conclusions so quickly, even under stress.
