This was quite ridiculous but in a strangely good way. A Russian navy ship with 3 huge satellite dishes on it is communicating with a Russian space station when something from space disrupts the communication. Its bad for the people in the space station and bad for the people in the ship. Some time later, a salvage ship escapes from a hurricane by sailing into the eye of it where they encounter a stranded and apparently deserted Russian navy ship. They board, their tug is sunk and they have to stay on board, where the crew have been turned into cyborgs. Donald Sutherland is in this film as a drunk Irish captain of the salvage vessel, he bears his teeth a lot but generally looks like he doesn't want to be in the film. Jamie Lee Curtis is also in this film. Nothing about this film really stands out apart from a cyborg version of Donald Sutherland, done very badly. I read its become something of a cult classic, I can see why but won't be rushing to watch it again.
