jbviewer review is suspect because of being a member for 7 yrs & THIS is the movie that was inspiration to write the only review after so many years?!? HORRIBLE acting realized in the first 3 minute, then the characters start spewing jargon about academies, & being captain of some team to get a coin to join some higher order all of which is never explained. The reason for the mistrust is because of the tournament & they've been stranded a an unknown planet & there is not way to get back thru the slip gate.
Immediately you realize everyone is missing members from their teams except for one & the race is on to win the tournament at all costs. No trusts each other in part because they teach @ these academies do whatever it takes to win, even if they have to kill the other team members or teams. SO despite the fact the others are likely dead, all the equipment/ supplies didn't make it thru & slip gate isn't working stranding them light years away on an unknown planet to the team members everyone is worried only about winning instead of survival.
The dialog through out the film is delivered w/o any convincing emotion by anyone. I kept waiting for KIT to die because of him being so ANNOYING & HAL couldn't have died sooner to keep him from playing his stupid ocarina...this whole thing is just plain horrible.
