You wouldn’t want to go to Mars on a spaceship cobbled together out of spare parts. And you probably won’t get much out of this science-fiction thriller, which combines elements of Cube (the six-trapped-strangers conceit), The Matrix (the inscrutable Oracle) and Alien (props and all the franchise’s leftover goo). It doesn’t fly very well, but it’s really a wonder that it gets off the ground in the first place.Any altitude the film achieves comes from the actors, a game bunch that includes Daniel Fathers (picture Vinnie Jones from Guy Ritchie’s early movies), Alex Woods (doing Bill Paxton from Aliens) and Deragh Campbell (dialing it up to 11 from Stranger Things). There’s also James Gallanders as an army scientist whom we first meet in a Cold War bunker in 1959.The writers are first-timers, which helps explain the writing. When they aren’t cribbing from better screenplays – “Particular set of skills,” “When I want your opinion I’ll give it to you,” etc. – they resort to three-part harmonic bafflegab like “artificial super-intelligences,” “electrified plasmic matrix,” “inter-dimensional portal” and “stabilized density matrix.” Those are all from a single scene, by the way; that’s some jumbo mumbo-jumbo.When the action isn’t grinding to a halt for pseudo-technical explanations, it’s grinding to a start as the characters, strapped into some kind of spaceship that’s just dark enough not to need to show us anything beyond their faces, bicker and try to figure out why they’ve all been brought together. Only Brighton (Gallanders) and Sera (Campbell) seem to have any shared history.
The rest can’t even agree what year it is.Project Ithaca was directed by Nicholas Humphries, a Canadian whose career has mostly consisted of shorts and TV episodes. This represents a rare move into feature film, and while I congratulate him on making the leap, he doesn’t stick the landing.
