The USG Ishimura, a miner spaceship, is transporting a strange artifact called the Red Marker. In the Aegis VII colony, where the Red Marker was found, there are some suicides and murders and the people are slowly going mad. The people are being infected by something. Barrow, the foreman, finds the body of his wife having committed suicide. Barrow decides to escape the colony's madness and, taking his wife's body, goes on board the Ishimura. But something happens to Barrow's wife on board the Ishimura. Written by Emilio Magdaleno

What seemed liked a Unitologists dream in obtaining the Marker, "The creator of all things", became a suicide mission for those aboard the USG Ishimura. As Security Officer Alissa Vincent leads a team of officers to investigate what happened in the freak mining accident below, all around the people on-board slowly become delusional homicidal maniacs. As soon is discovered, alien life has been released at the site of the Marker, and panic ensues, killing everyone in sight. A very insightful prequel as to how it all started...and how it all must end. Written by David Murray Arthur

Just saw the movie at one of the orIental stores, and this movie was on the shelf, and it's the prequel. Just wondering if anyone has seen it and what you thought of it?

I saw this movie. i didn't dislike it Per Se, but i feel as though it was sort of pointless in a sense. yes, it does set up a few things for the first videogame and allows you to familiarize yourself with what the hell happened on that ship, but i feel as though by watching the movie before you played the game, it sort of ruined the surprise, and if you played the game before seeing the movie, you already knew about 90% of the information that they threw your way. still enjoyable to watch, but i can not help but have mixed feeling about the purpose of the movie.
