The smartest members of the crew decide that visiting the first ship is certain doom, and they are right because it is this huge giant mistake that causes any plot to exist. Then a magical sun god appears and starts melting people. (not kidding.. it's quite puzzling why they thought this made sense). Shortly after all but 3 people are dead. The computer magically (never reasonable explained) runs out of power and a crew member has to lower cooling cells into coolant. Instead of lowering the cells, he decides to swim in the coolant and kills himself.Last and not least, the only surviving member enters into the Sci-Fi channel's Cube and fights the sun god one last time before killing himself to restart the sun. If I've missed any of the terrible writing, please correct me.Since I like the movie I'll explain (doesn't mean I expect you to like the movie).The first group of highly-qualified guys goes off in to space & is never heard from again. So they send in the JV squad. The crew find out they can only make one more message to earth & the scientist guy uses up all the transmission because he is emotional & the other who wants to send a loving message home is pissed & they fight. The ship is mishandled by the pilot guy & that in turn fries their O2/food making room. They not can't go back to earth. They find out about the ship & the smartest members of the crew believe it's the BEST idea (the scientists guy) because then they could have 2 bombs vs one. A bonus would be the possibility of food + more O2. They get on the ship, find the ship's computer dead, all the people fried (the psych guy says it's because they didn't want to live in space forever, but it's confirmed they killed themselves) except the captain & the food/O2 room wonderful. They get back on their ship & find out they don't have enough air any more & the computer tells them there's an extra person on board. The crispy captain kills asian lady when she sees the garden is regrowing, then he goes & starts breaking the computer. Then he tries to kill the other pal white chick. She runs to the bomb part of the ship. The scientist guy escapes crispy captain by locking himself in a room with space suits. Crispy captain heads to bomb part. The emotional guy sees the computers are out of the coolant because the crispy captain pulled them out & broke the controls to put them back in (same thing he did on the other ship). He uses his weight to put them back in the coolant but gets stuck & freezes to death (so computers die). Scientist guy heads to bomb section in space suit & blows himself out of an airlock to "fly" towards bomb part which the crispy captain set free. I forget the exact next sequence of events, but the crispy captain kills pale white chick after chase, there's a talk about the crispy captain seeing God & being told he must let earth die at all costs & the scientist guy says he doesn't believe in God, then the scientist guy blows up the bomb & saves the solar system.Besides all the technical far-out stuff & the ocational strange scenario, I found it entertaining. I would of found it more interesting if instead of saying God told him to let earth die it would of been him saying he must let earth die to prove God doesn't exist (would of made more sense based on his actions).

My problem with the movie is that the writing was so bad that almost half of the important plot points are under told for the sake of making the most eccentric scene humanly possible. For example, the coolant scene I describe. The actual intent was for the computer to have overheated, without loosing power, and that to get the computer back online, the coolant rods have to be replaced. What's never clarified is whether it is a power or computer problem. It took the fans on IMDB quite a bit of discussion before deciding what happened. The other piece is that when the computer comes back online, it's only partially online. The movie itself makes no reasonable effort to explain this. It just focuses on making the coolant bath the most eccentric suicide ever concocted. Once again, it took true fans of this movie a bit of discussion and review in order to make sense of this.
