Set in a future where people live in orbit, earth has been deemed irreparable, and colonizing Mars is the next mission. Orbit is messy, so junk collectors (the space sweepers) compete with each other to collect salvaged debris, trying to make money and keep orbits clear of junk. The crew of The Victory are the top dogs in this competitive world and they happen to salvage a weapon that could alter the power balance in the solar system. It so happens the weapon is a young girl. The plot details are revealed throughout the film just when they are needed (too early and you feel things are contrived, too late and you feel manipulated) to make this a proper space opera. Well done.
3 stars (out of 5)
