    It looks alright. It's a reasonable premise for a sci-fi action movie and, although I love Alien, I tend to be leery of the infinite number of 'grim horror spaceship' movies it's inspired... but I could definitely see this working.

    Is this a fanfilm? Looks quite bad.

    Storyline sounds like a mix between Space - Above and Beyond and Verhoeven's Starship Troopers.



    edit
    Not that fanfilms are bad. You know. Ah, nevermind.

    Looks pretty silly to me. Probably won't be made into a feature film.

    'Wing Commander' meets 'Aliens'. (Actually could be decent imo) ;)

    This looks quite good for a trailer obviously put together on a shoestring.

    As I think Ebert has argued, it helps to judge projects while taking into account the resources, intent and target audience. "Fan films" themselves come in for both a great deal of praise and a great deal of derision, both appropriate and otherwise.
