Monte and his daughter are the last survivors of a damned and dangerous mission to deep space. The crew—death-row inmates led by a doctor with sinister motives—has vanished. As the mystery of what happened onboard the ship is unraveled, father and daughter must rely on each other to survive as they hurtle toward the oblivion of a black hole.

    This is a really disappointing effort from all concerned. It is unnecessarily abstruse and manages, quite successfully, to suck any joy or interest from the project more efficiently than any black hole could ever do. This is totally devoid of any realistic or palpable sense of emotion at all, as we watch former prisoner "Monte" (Robert Pattinson) and his daughter "Willow" (Jessie Ross) come to terms with isolation of…
