“Deus” (** out of four) was a congenitally derivative sci/fi suspense melodrama about a space crew (Claudia Black, Richard Blackwood, Phil Davis, and others) who discover a mysterious black sphere around Mars; they subsequently awake after eight months of hibernation and find that the sphere is mysteriously transmitting the title word in every language known to man and have to uncover why. Viewers who watch the film will have a lot less to uncover themselves. Virtually a catalogue of sci/fi cliches and story fragments- particularly from “Event Horizon” and “Sphere” and (naturally) also “Alien.” Not bad for what it is and does feature some stylish art design and direction but unable to transcend its obvious origins.
