It’s 2093 and waves of a deadly disease have made Earth close to uninhabitable, so The Nightflyer is heading into the farthest reaches of space in hopes of making first contact. The pilot, directed by Mike Cahill ( Another Earth, Rise) and written by Jeff Buhler, has an ad-free running time of nearly an hour and introduces some of the team aboard The Nightflyer. The network calls this a “fan-forward viewing experience,” which is definitely a network-forward alternative to calling it a “two-week dump in early December.” Syfy is premiering Nightflyers in a pair of Sunday-through-Thursday five-night bursts starting on December 2. Martin’s name is simply a better hook than associations with the underseen 1987 film, still of the same name, or a more practical approach that would just be to say that if you’re a fan of spaceship-as-haunted-house sci-fi, Nightflyers is one of those.ĭecently cast, interestingly claustrophobic and boasting occasional tiny bursts of inspiration, Nightflyers isn’t going to suddenly hook those broad Game of Thrones demos, but there’s an audience out there that’s always thirsty for hard sci-fi and this is for them.

Winkler, whose previous effort was 2010’s equally forced Ceremony, fails to provide the tonal consistency necessary to put the outlandish characters and situations over. But that’s in keeping with the film’s entirely contrived nature in which everything seems designed for comic shock value. Tribeca: Political Activist Tries to Cause a Stir at 'ACORN and the Firestorm' PremiereĮrica, defined by such quirks as owning a pet rat, never comes across as a remotely credible character. The elaborate plot proves disastrous, with the result that Erica and Will are forced to go on the lam to Mexico. So Erica sets a plot in motion to get revenge on Luke’s behalf by seducing Will and making sure he gets the punishment he deserves. It turns out that the older guy at the bowling alley, Will (Scott), is the man that Luke had accused. Although resenting the interloper’s presence in her life, Erica is sympathetic enough to offer her future stepbrother a blowjob. Severely overweight and depressed, Luke has just been released from rehab, and his troubled past includes apparently having been sexually molested by one of his teachers. Tribeca: Hillary Clinton Praises Science March, Kathryn Bigelow's VR DocĮrica’s life, which consists mainly of hanging out at the bowling alley with her friends and ogling an older guy they deem “hot” (if you drank a shot every time one of the female characters utters that word, you’d be drunk within minutes), becomes upended by the arrival of Luke (Joey Morgan), the teenage son of her mother’s (Hahn) dorky new boyfriend (Tim Heidecker).
