I found this movie completely by accident, shame it did not move into a series. I think it had a lot of potential.

If you went to a stage play, would you criticize the props because they were not real? Compared to the multi-millions spent by Hollywood, the rest can't really compete with certain things, but why don't we try to give credit to people finding creative ways to provide entertainment and innovative ideas for films. These people did many things quite well, and other things exceptionally well - when offering insults, why don't you try to offer a few complements to inspire others to continue to find ways to improve and entertain.

Made for TV length and a very VHS cinematography. This movie wasn't enough to be really popular but was enough to be a very enjoyable distraction to life's conventionality. If you don't mind B grade fantasy in a science fiction environment this movie won't let you down. Plus it was a lot like Krull and I like Krull.🎉🎉🎉

I wish this had turned into the Ice Planet Archives or whatever the TV show was going to be. The story is so deep and enigmatic and extremely heavy on the sci-fi.

I found it very enjoyable. It had a lot of potential also. I liked the cast mix and I feel it had good SFX for a TV pilot especially in that era. I can't imagine many people thinking 'worst movie' in any way, there are much worse movies showing up almost daily. They left enough mystery and danger for future development.

As a mental patient myself, I would give this a 10 for originality. The 'ice being' that took over the one man showed compassion enough to set him free. I really liked it.

Good effects, clean , and acting not bad. Pretty damn good by today's standards.. wish we could go back to films like this.

I noticed that most of the comments regarding the movie are based on assumption that it was a feature film. But, this was a pilot for the series. In light of that i think it could have been a really good. As far as the effects go, keep in mind that it was 2001 when it was made.

I've been video binging some 4 year 12 hours a day... this is the one show I looked and looked for more episodes of. I want a series!

I agree with what Mr. Goodall below said. After the film ended, I thought to myself, "What just happened?" Too much going on. But the first 30 minutes, when they are stranded on the planet, I had hopes for this story...but it slowly just got crazy. It had a little bit of Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, Lost in Space, you name it. It never could decide which kind of movie it was. I laughed, I cried, I kissed two hours goodbye!

This was good ! Thank you.

It is a challenge to watch the first 10 minutes. But then is every single second worth to watch them. Awesome.

When you consider how difficult it is to invent new worlds and space travel without violating too many laws of physics, the exercise is hazardous at best. The acting is actually good in places. Production values also were decent. Thanks for posting, Tweets.

Reminiscent of the series "Space 1999" in that humans end up "some where else". Another unique concept of "what could be" in the Sci-fi world. A decent B-movie that would get my thumbs up.

superb. Great job for a film made by a non mainstream studio, and with a low budget. I give it 10 stars.

4:20 the guy on the radio is 'Jean-Luc Julien' the main Hero Voice for SpellForce: The Order of Dawn as well as a couple of other SpellForce additions!

This was a really enjoyable movie to watch. It played like one of your typical space opera science fiction books. Keep in mind that THAT is how you have to watch it. You need to add in little bits here and there to give the movie the sense of completion and scope it was trying to cover. It was't perfect of course, it's a low budget film. But honestly if you enjoy science fiction books then you'll probably see the similarities and enjoy this.

Nice pilot. I wish this had gotten picked up, I would have loved to see where the story would go. If you watch this, keep in mind that it is a pilot. CGI, Theme music, Props and costumes, usually go up in value once they show is picked up.

Enjoyed this - thanks for uploading it

I am a fan of Science Fiction. Original writing and good acting help me enjoy Science Fiction in the movie format. This movie is in my top ten list for low budget projects - and when I read, after watching it, that it was made in 2000, my first thought was, how could the planet Earth have wasted 17 years and done nothing more with this amazing project? My thanks for a most enjoyable 82 minutes, as the time I spent enjoying this film enriched my time on this planet we all share, while in some very tense and politically challenging times. Thank you~!!

I liked it. Too bad it didn't make it into a series. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the story unfold. Thanks for sharing.

Has it ever occurred to you that Lucas isn't the only sci fi producer in the universe? Call it a brand, this is a different style and execution of the same concept. What I liked about it instantly is the fact that the effects weren't cheesy. Sure it needs more improvements on the storytelling side and perhaps putting more tension in the action scenes. Wes Studi was very effective and Shimono deserves credit for his character. All in all, the best part is that it isn't stereotypically Lucas.

I enjoyed this movie very much. Thank you for putting this on KZfaq

I really enjoyed this and was looking forward to more. Thanks for posting!

Not sure if people are giving in to peer pressure in their comments or not. I don't see why this is so horrible. It was entertaining, kept my interest, and a decent story line. Yes - some elements were not straightforward in explanation, some of the special effects are not perfect, some ideas should have been presented better (kind of hokey), and some shots were obviously staged for effect. Sometimes the actors are lacking sometimes - but others made up for it. I'd watch it again for the story though, and I'd like to see some of those calling it "the worst" do as well. The props and sets were not bad at all - some were great. It would make a good series.

"It's gone." "What do you mean 'it's gone'?" "It's not there."

Very good, , thank you! Good plot, good costumes and characters.

I am surprised this movie was not nominated for Oscars! The acting! The acting! Oh mama!

I'm sci Fi geek at heart and this is one of the best so far in my book its characteristic has and is inspired by star wars you see reminiscing of some scenes from the death star run as one of the characters in the movie dive bones into one of the main star destroyers same here the director must've been

There was some really great stuff in this. Such a world (or Universe) of possibilities. I'm sorry this didn't make it to the public airwaves. Like any pilot, it had to do a lot of exposition to set up the future episodes but as a story it could have been a great ride. compared to some of the things that made it to a series it was ten thumbs up.

Thank you for uploading this movie, as I love scifi! It is very thoughtful of you

Holy cow i love this!!!!

This is actually a good movie .. A very verl nice story line :) x

Second time watching and it is still worth it!

as someone who understands science fiction ( I do I live with my wife)i think movies like this one is good because it's clean, and to the point, and intertaining

A very decent origin story. Kudos especially to the executive producers who took a good chance and put up some fairly serious money. That money was spent wisely--- reasonably good acting and the look, and enough to let writers and production tell a full story. Well done.

Surprisingly good movie. Good plot, production and acting. I enjoyed watching it.

better than many I have seen. too bad they didn't get to continue, this is really interesting.

Been on a kick of watching these free movies, sci-fi and disaster movies. They are pretty good. The sci-fi ones remind me of like old Battlestar Galactica and buck Rogers or old school Dr who with the effects. Im enjoying seeing these. It's something different from the usual Hollywood is putting out lately plus there's more survivors and happier endings lol. It's nice to see half the cast live.

That was very good! Very engaging. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for posting it

Intriguing film, I don't understand why it wasn't made into a series.

I liked it not bad if they had a sequel i'd watch it

I really liked this movie thank you for uploading it ❤

Heavy on the character stereotypes, weird character interactions, and awesome.

Compared to a lot of what I've seen on Scifi and other places, I actually really quite liked this. It's not perfect, but it's not horrible either. As a pilot, a little more room to develop as a show and some work, I think it would be quite interesting!

what a great movie, thank you.

If you just let your eyes take it all in & let your mind go...it makes for a grand adventure into the unknown & unexplainable Universe! Enjoy the ride! It seems like it was going to become a tv series which never got picked up as a good idea. Alot of money, time, uniforms & costumes, good actors, big sets, & writing came together to make this movie. I enjoyed it VERY MUCH! Good against Evil sci-fi adventure! Watch it. It just gets better & better then it ends. But, it'll live FOREVER on servers on EARTH!! Thanks WES STUDI & all the cast & crew that actually made this film with your time & sweat. OCT. 8th, 2019

Ive Never Heard Of This Movie Before. But I Love it.

Great casting, solid acting, impressive wardrobe and decent effects; well done..a level above many other sci-fi efforts! 9/10.

Bit cheesy in a few places, but enjoyable and interesting plot. Looks like it could have been a good series. Such a shame it was not continued!

Some cool old school sci-fi thank you for posting it:)

The best part is this is the only one. Thank you General Audience Ratings!

A very good pilot. I wish a series would have been made. It would not have taken much to make this like Star Gate

Actually it is really nice movie. Everything is fine & I would like to thank the all the people behind it.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences actually gave a lifetime achievement award to Wes Studi...who literally can't act, unless he's playing a silent Indian (Last of the Mohicans).

This movie has changed my way of thinking. The new way of thinking is horrible to think about but it opens up the mind that is both positive and negative.

This turned out to be much better than I thought it would be, after having seen some of the other sci-fi moves on KZfaq, By the way, the base commander is the same guy that played the part of the hostel Indian clan leader in the movie of "Last of the Mohicans" , This movie had some pretty good special effects and imaginative, the acting was pretty good and the sets and camera work was also pretty good. Though it wouldn't make it onto my list of classics, I thought it was worth seeing.

This is a strange, imaginative movie, unusual for the Hollywood of today. Thanks for posting!

Enjoyable movie and a quality upload! Thanks for posting.

Pretty good. I knew it couldn't be too bad when I saw Winrich Kolbe was the director. He did a lot of good Star Trek episodes.

creative mind makes this movie awesome.

This is actually kind of a neat movie. It borrows from a lot of other movies, but you can see the love put into it.

I really liked this movie. It looked like a pilot episode movie to a TV series that was never made. Wes Studi is a good actor. I saw him in wild west and cop movies. He was the the top general in the TV series Kings.

I love to hear Dukhat again, I've missed him.

Really well done film! I was quite impressed!

I stayed until the end. The movie is very easy to watch. No moments where the acting is painful or it is too slowed paced to keep up. The acting was actually very, very good and the pacing was not the greatest, but it stayed in balance with the rest of the elements. Sure, the CGI is not the greatest. It was 2001. But the smaller scale CGI was done incredibly well for 2001. I think the only issue here may have been the story was weakly developed, but it was a great movie.

Decent movie. Thanks uploader

I can't believe 20% of viewers gave this movie a thumbs down!

Always glad to see something that tries and this surely did, nice ensemble cast that would've led to development of a fan-driven universe like Star Wars or Star Trek!

I really liked it. But I hope for more of it.

This was a very great Syfy. I really enjoyed watching it.

Wes Study is one of my favorite actors. As always he is super in this film too.

Watching july 2019 😙

I quite liked that. Shame they weren't given more time to develop it. May have been all it needed to improve.

I loved this movie ! Much love from Cornwall UK !!!!!

Nice to see an original idea get some funding. It’s not perfect but at least it’s not a remake, reboot, or “reimagining” of something that already existed. I appreciate that.

I feel like those poor souls, Lost in some cold an distant world. Oh,, I'm on you tube, no wonder I'm disoriented!

Interesting concept, wondering if it was based on a book series.

Thank you for Sharing.

The best comedy I've seen in years. I laughed with every line and scene change.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie. Seems to add something new every time I see it. I keep hoping I will see "Ice Planet the Return" This is what dreams are made of... Thanks for sharing...

ice ice planet, ice ice planet

UNUSUAL MOVIE CONCEPT. DIFFERENT AND REFRESHING. KEPT MY INTEREST, AND I BELIEVE WORTH WATCHING AT LEAST ONCE.

What a great movie. Thanks for the download

It's a shame that the series wasn't picked up, it looked pretty crazy fun. I think it's judged a little too harshly for the "bad" story, but a pilot episode's plot can't tie up all the loose ends, it's supposed to just set up the stage for the series. If you think of similar B-movie type series from that period like Andromeda, Farscape or LEXX they often started up pretty silly but they found their pace.

WTF did I just watch?!?! ...Was this supposed to be a pilot for SyFy original series or something? Lots of recognizable character actors who were a bit underused, but this showed potential.

This is the second time I have seen this it still a Beautiful film ty for sharing

Tough critics out here ; lemeesee , just watched a party good sci-fi flick at home no charge , what a blessing 🙌. Keep up the good work and I hope the next chapter is as the Jamaicans say ,,,soon come 🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍💜

I have seen alot worse on the SciFi channel.

I actually liked the movie. Too bad the show didn't get picked up because I feel it's got potential, and once when they wiggled through season 1, I feel that things would have picked up. But, we'll never know, sadly. But I really like the premise. And the characters were just beginning to develop. I want more!!!!!!

For a pilot -not bad. With some tweeking I believe it could have been as good if not better than many of the sy-fi showes in existence. It had merit and I enjoyed it. Definitely worth the watch.

Thanks for the post.

It was really echo-galactic...🌑🌘🌗🌔❄️

wierd - but still better than battlefield earth!

Nicely done,,thank you for sharing..

A very different story indeed! This was so worth watching 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This is great if you like sci-fi.Loved it.

The only thing I didn't like about this, is that there aren't any more episodes. :(

I really enjoyed it ! Thank you ! 🤗

Great acting! I am impressed
