Summary: A ghostly ship looms silently ahead as the crippled, ocean-going, salvage tug Sea Star approaches. The Sea Star crew, their ship slowly sinking, has sought refuge in the eerie calm of the eye of a typhoon to make repairs and hopefully avert disaster. (Universal Studios)
System Shock The Movie!! ...well, almost. Probably as close as I'm likely to get. And I do admit that my liking this movie is almost entirely due to my love of System Shock, in case you are wondering why I scored it so highly compared to the general consensus.

Not quite as bad as people make it out to be. I think the best way to describe the film is Moby Dick meets The Thing and Alien and misfires. The acting talent here from Sutherland and Jamie Lee Curtis is wasted, though Cliff Curtis has somewhat memorable Queequeg character. However the body horror of the cyborg creatures is still memorably haunting but the goofy silliness far overrides any positives to make this really worth watching.
Count the rip-offs: ALIEN, TERMINATOR, FIRST CONTACT, DEEP RISING, LEVIATHAN, oh my goodness there isn't a breath of originality in these tired lungs. Having an actual virus is more enjoyable than sitting through this one.
Donald Sutherland and Jamie Lee Curtis star in this highly informative film on the rules of salvaging ships in international waters, and the proper steps to take when a computer virus brings the ships to life.
It seems as if some decent actors all had a few weeks to kill around the same time, so they threw together this homage to computers gone bad. Of course, 2001 and The Terminator did it way better, but who are we to judge? Oh, wait...yeah...this is a critics' site. This was plain bad.
