Space Cases is a science fiction television series. Its premise revolves around a group of misfit students and two adults who are stranded far from home aboard an alien ship. Their attempts at journeying back see many dangerous adventures and controversies, with some occasionally more mature themes.
David Lowerys riff on Arthurian legend is full of profound truth and awe-inspiring spectacle, but its grayscale world is as opaque as it is impressive.
Space Cases -- an epic in miniature, a fantasy all the more poignant for its moral realities -- makes this a lesson worth learning.
Despite its impressive visual displays in hour one, the film quickly falters in the second half thanks in part to a bland cast stuck in some very silly subplots.
