Deep space. Six young hackers on a grueling work release program attempt to clear out debug the computer systems of a massive derelict freighter. They quickly fall prey to the ship's vengeful artificial intelligence, a program that would kill to be human. As the fractious team is forced to match wits with this rogue program, they discover that the ship holds a deadly secret, and a fate far worse than death.

Wasted cast
Turned it off halfway through, its fine if you like slasher movies. Its such a shame that a film that could easily have gone the way of 2001 was ruined, such a strong cast working well together wasted on the very old worn out blood and guts theme. Sad!

Fantastic movie that keeps you fixed to the screen.
I thought it was a fantastic film. I don't like giving any spoilers, so I'll just share my quick thoughts about the film. The story was gripping and along with strong lead actors, it really kept my attention hooked through the entire film. The premise of the film is unique, refreshing and explored really well. Overall I really enjoyed the story and I feel it's a film I'll watch many more times. For me I am adding it to my library of favorite films.I'd strongly recommend this film to everyone, as it's defiantly really exciting to watch. In addition, anyone who is into computer science, space or technology and likes a little horror to go with it, should strongly consider buying this film.

More Psych Than Sci-Fi
I have bought a few too many Sci-Fi DVDs this year..I should have known what to expect but the deranged computer took the edge off the Sci-Fi.I don't like too much psycho and found this too edgy and spent to much time wondering what the mental computer was going to come up with next..decent ending..

This was okay, it's quite like space odyssey 2001 but with lots of blood and not bad acting to, just not so well put together story, worth a watch certainly not one of those super cheap syfy movies.

An AI to die for...
This is a stylish and quite smart slice of low-budget sci-fi. It pays inevitable homage to Ridley Scott’s spaceship, dips its toe in the Matrix mythology, even tips it hats towards Misfits. A bunch of convicted cyber criminals are serving community sentences in the far future, debugging and rebooting dodgy systems in space. They arrive at their latest assignment, split up, and kinda wait to be picked off by the seriously baddass AI. So far, so haunted house in space. And indeed, Debug doesn’t do anything new with this situation, but it introduces a few memorable moments and a couple of intriguing characters – not least the AI itself. And the spaceship is pretty nifty.Perhaps the most chilling aspect of the film is the notion of the flatline scan; that as you die the AI captures your consciousness. In essence, it digitises its victims' souls and draws them into its domain for an eternity of torment. That notion, as much as the physical end of the hapless characters, ramped up the tension. On the downside, this is obviously a low-budget flick and some of the repetitive running-thru-corridors moments wear thin. Similarly, the virtual fight scenes could've been more credible.It’s hardly Alien – or even Prometheus – but this is better than average indie sci-fi and features some genuinely creative moments.7/10

What a waste of time
I love my sci-fi films. But this is appalling. It's we are stranded on a spaceship, there something bad in here, its going to kill us one by one. Oh no its Aquaman playing a virtual computer program, who looks like he should be playing in an 80s synth band. You not meant to like any of the characters except the one "wronged" good guy" and the hard core woman who is wearing a t-shirt 3 sizes to small for her. This is a shocker. After 50 minutes I fast forwarded it. Even has a ninja bit thrown in for "laughs". I love my scifi movies. There's nothing good here. Spoiler alert: The woman who crime it is who enjoys sex and is open about it, gets raped to death (suggested) in a virtual reality. It's that stereotypical. I want that hour back please amazon "prime". Shocking bad

Entertaining Sci-fi horror
A vastly underrated movie with all the classic elements of a horror flick, plus some nice spacey tech.Made me think of Blake's 7 with the initial plot premis.Not big budget but highly entertaining.

Baby's First Script
This film is so filled with cliches, I'm fairly certain it's some college kid's first script that just got a minor facelift by Hewlett.Every human female character is a caricature, a stereotype that they hold on to for the entirety of the film. The dialogue is stilted and delivered with odd timing.And for some reason, Hewlett thought it was important that 3 of the 4 female humans should be shown in their underwear and the last in a skintight bodysuit.The lead character isn't the lead, because she happens to be a woman, so we follow a hollowed-out character with no emotion or defining features that happen to have the "correct" genitals.It's about "hacking", but only in the Hollywood sense, where there's no actual code involved and it's just people talking to computers. And sometimes they are "in" the computer, and it's just displayed as them being elsewhere, doing the same thing they did outside the computer (which is just standing there, doing nothing). Since the setting is a space ship, this gimmick falls flat. They are already in a sci-fi setting, using some AR interface. Transporting them into the computer adds nothing more than a clothes change.The opening kill is completely different from all the other kills, done in a way that goes against the rules established later in the film. Like Hewlett just hoped we would forget the only memorable kill in the film. From there on it's just characters dying in quick succession, in ways that didn't need the "evil AI" at all.And, of course, we top it off with the black character being the first victim because we have to have all the cliches.
