The whole film has a claustrophobic and intimate feel, with a minimalist set design and a small cast, who are all great by the way. The simple narrative is tantalizing and executed well, with some tense moments, decent plot twists, and the odd splash of sci-fi gore for good measure.
It's low budget, boasts some dodgy effects occasionally, and not at all groundbreaking or spectacular, but it has that 90s sci-fi/horror charm to it, and overall is a competent and entertaining thriller. One of those films that I could easily watch every couple of years.

The first half of the film is a rather drab earthbound thriller as various corporate interests try to dissuade the title character from taking command of the crucial mission that will assess whether the androids have a future in space exploration; the second half is proper sci-fi. Some interesting, if slightly underpowered discussion of what the difference really is between organic and synthetic people, but the story is slow and talky and never manages to bring its ideas to life. The special effects and sets are a bit reminiscent of Blake's 7, which wasn't a problem for me but may well be for other people. Watchable if you're interested in the development of sci-fi.
