However, the movie is a mess. If you like action, maybe you&#8217;ll like it, but it has a lot of slow, boring parts as well.\u00a0 The name of the movie is based on what happens when you lose consciousness in space, due too much G-force.<\/p>\n<p>The basic &#8220;universe&#8221; the movie is set in was interesting.\u00a0 Earth is facing a new ice age in the future. A mysterious worm hole dubbed &#8220;The Gate&#8221; appears over the Earth, so humanity builds space ships to fly through it, to get to another world, Rhea.\u00a0 Time is different on the other side, however. By the time the remaining humans decide to go through, the earliest human settlers of Rhea have decided not to take any more refugees. That part is interesting (and, of course, timely).\u00a0 The hero, Bran (Moyer), is stranded in space on a dying ship, with just his A.I., Edison (who sounds a bit too much lik C-3PO).\u00a0 They board another ship, but most of the crew is dead.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I was thinking, &#8220;How many times have we seen THIS scenario before?&#8221;\u00a0 Answer: a lot, especially on &#8220;Doctor Who,&#8221; but also in many movies.\u00a0 Then Bran (dumb name) meets a Rhean woman named Osha. Now, &#8220;Bran&#8221; is bad enough, but Osha? As in, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?? No. Terrible names. Bran and Osha spend a lot of time trying to kill each other.\u00a0 Throughout the movie, we can&#8217;t figure out if they&#8217;re going to have a romance or not.\u00a0 The problem is, Moyer looks a lot older than her.\u00a0 She seems closer to the age of his daughter.\u00a0 In the end, though, they never become more than friends.\u00a0 That question remains unanswered, and it&#8217;s not the only one.<\/p>\n<p>One of the interesting parts of the movie is when Bran is thinking back to his family on Earth.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that&#8217;s a pretty sad story.\u00a0 John Rhys-Davies has a small part as his father-in-law.\u00a0 The movie has a good ending, except we never get to see Rhea.\u00a0 Most of the movie happens on a claustrophobic spaceship set.<\/p>\n<p>I think this could have been a good movie in the hands of an experienced filmmaker.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it moves too slowly and has a little too much going on at once.\u00a0 It seems to be trying to be a dark, grim movie, but it has a facile ending that doesn&#8217;t match the tone of the rest of it.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7151\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lionsgate-300x181.png\" alt=\"G-LOC Lionsgate PR\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lionsgate-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lionsgate.png 407w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>PROGRAM DESCRIPTION <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An epic sci-fi adventure set in a distant world, <strong><em>G-LOC<\/em><\/strong> premieres on DVD, Digital, and On Demand August 18 from Lionsgate.
