I wanted to like this more, because the general idea for the story is pretty interesting. To have a group of humans on board of a spaceship that they need to learn how to use, while they are drifting from location to location without any control; that sounds pretty cool. The issue with the story were the characters. They lacked depth and/or were total clichés. Wall the typical rough strong kind of man with few words to spare. Cora the cold icy CEO. Christopher a military from the Air Force as much of an idiot as idiots can be. And all of the sudden he decides he is going to be less idiot just because he is given apologies. Row, the annoying teen that has issues with daddy. And not even the relationship between these people are believable. One moment Wall and Cora hate each other's guts, and all of the sudden they want to have a piece of each other... out of nowhere. Not very believable. Characters definitely need to be better built, but the base idea was pretty cool, and that ending allow us to have a preview of the big trouble that is coming.
