- A four person crew, sent to bring back a mothballed ship parked at the back of Pluto, find themselves on their way to the edge of the Universe. Captainned by Sceptra, crewed by the child genious Kraz, the hopeless negotiator Caroli, and the narcissistic Wasat, the crew of the Bismillah find themselves heading out into space at ten times the speed of light. Unable to turn the ship aound, they resign themselves to spending the rest of their lives on a ship pre-programmmed to travel the thirteen billion light years needed to reach the end of the Univese. They soon find themselves at odds with one another in a mis-match that seems to have been pre-programmed to fail.
- A guy on a mountain bike stalks five astronauts, murders them and eats their brains. They say its safe, healthy and fun to spacewalk around Pluto, but they don't tell you when there is a cannibal on the loose. Fiction? Is it? Not so for Captain Caroli (Paul Cassidy) and Kraz (Rachel Rath), two experienced astronauts when they meet Uvers (Jon-Paul Gates), the cosmic cannibal. Shot in the rugged corridors of Deluxe London in the heart of Denham Media Park, the serenity and beauty of the outer solar system is a hunting ground and an easy killing field for the twisted Uvers, who only has one thing on his mind - eating the astronauts' brains. (Deliberately misleading as I have seen this movie. The cannibal theme is a reference to Moffat's movie Cycle, which was also deliberately added to the synopsis for Mairi Sutherland's movie Going Green.
Here is the official synopsis from Palm Tree
A four-person crew are sent to bring back a mothballed ship parked behind Pluto. Entering the ship the astronauts soon discover that it is no ordinary cruiser but that it contains layers of levels and unusual leisure facilities. Their journey to the bridge leads them to a swimming pool, a church and a cocktail bar. They are also unnerved by the religious symbolism of the ship: on entry they were greeted by the sign God Be With You as though the ship had some other purpose. As the four meander around the ship, crew member Caroli (Paul Cassidy) accidentally pushes a button which starts the ship's engines and the ship starts to fly towards the edge of the universe at several times the speed of light. The Captain, Sceptra (Susanne Harbison) feels obliged to deduce where the ships destination. Before long the only scientist on the crew, Kraz (Rachel Rath) discovers that the ship is destined to reach the end of the Universe. All four crew members are shocked by the realisation that they are marooned and are part of an experiment. Trapped on the ship without a purpose other than to wait out their lives, and living with the knowledge that their lifespan is too short for them to complete their journey, they become more hedonist and despondent. The most optimist crew member Wasat, (Tony Streeter), becomes the focus of sexual jealousy when Caroli cannot accept that Kraz is to have Wasat's child. Caroli's jealousy eats away at him until it drives him to alcoholism and finally murder. Sceptra takes action against Caroli, whom she imprisons in the brig for fifteen years, but she is powerless to overcome the turning tide of time, and her own morality. She faces the realisation that Kraz's child will be left all alone when the others die. She is also aware that her companions, the crazy cleaning robots (voiced by Jon Paul Gates) will continue to service the ship, while her own salvation is unresolved, when she makes a Stanley Kubrick 2001 style journey to the end of the Universe.
