Synopsis:
Beyond comprehension, beyond imagination and beyond the deepest regions of this galaxy... life as we know it is about to end! James Spader and Oscar nominee Angela Bassett strike sparks and Lou Diamond Phillips, Oscar nominee Robert Forster and the mesmerizing Robin Tunney are stunning in this spectacular sci-fi thriller that expands the universe of suspense to a whole new realm of raw power and unspeakable terror.
In the farthest reaches of deep space, the medical vessel Nightingale keeps a lonely vigil for those in trouble. When a frantic cry for help pierces the void, the crew responds with a near fatal, hyperspace dimension jump into the gravitational pull of a dying star.
The disables ship rescues a shuttlecraft containing a mysterious survivor and a strange alien artifact. Now the crew must unravel a chilling secret and the nearby imploding star before the forming supernova blasts them and entire galaxy into oblivion.

Your Opinions and Comments
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs to be seen, but the picture is not 100% clean of dust particles. Still, the visuals are mostly stunning and the CG is very impressive.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good, too. The surrounds are used effectively throughout the movie.
The menus are partially animated with sound.
The extras include 13 deleted scenes (including an alternate opening and ending scenes). It`s quite obvious why most of the deleted scenes didn`t make it to the final movie.
Bottom line - a totally enjoyable (aka - no brainer) movie with stunning visuals and sound. Too bad the disc doesn`t offer more extras.
