Alien at the Movies

The Colony (also known as Tides)

In the not too distant future, a second exploratory mission from Kepler Colony is sent back to an Earth devastated by a global catastrophe. Unfortunately, the crew is attacked by local savages, called the Muds. One astronaut, Blake, manages to escape & is rescued by a more civilized group. Much of this sci-fi drama takes place along the foggy shoreline. In the beginning, the plotline seems to be as hazy as this coastal climate. This primarily English language film is peppered with some untranslated German & Swiss dialog, which adds to the mystery & confusion of the story. It’s a good premise on low budget but poor on execution.

Alien gives it 2 “Ulysses 2” stars out of 4.
