Dante 01 (2008)

What just happened?
A group of scientists cohabit a space station with convicted criminals who live as prisoners.  The scientists do research on the prisoners.  One of the newly arrived prisoners has some kind of mystical powers.  Beyond that, I'm not sure what the point of this film is.  Some of the visuals are impressive and there is one particularly strong visual sequence towards the end, but it takes more than effects to make a good film.  The story of Marc Caro's solo directorial debut is weak, and the characters are little more than caricatures.

Dante 01 is a little lost in space with only 2 out of 5 Poblanos!
