Beyond White Space 2018 Written by Ryan Colucci and Clay McLeod Chapman, directed by Ken Locsmandi. It's a US Hungarian production, I can't find much about that mix, as in, who done what. I did read that the director is an effects guy, He's worked on a lot of stuff since 1995, I've seen a good bit of it without knowing who he was. The writers have mostly written short films.
The script takes a lot of inspiration from Moby Dick and Chinese dragons. The ship in the movie is used to harvest space bugs for cash. On their latest trip they encounter a giant space creature. They had a good haul this trip but that was stolen by some space pirates. The captain convinces the crew that they should go hunting for the giant space creature. They don't know that he was offered a huge pile of cash by some crooks for it, nor that it killed his dad.
There's plenty of spaceships and space, some fist fights and some space battles, a giant monster and plenty of melodrama. The Captain and his brother are at odds, the couple humping in the cargo bay find out they're having a kid, there's an old space rat, a pretty cook and an introverted space mechanic. This trip the crew is joined by an inspector who brings her own emotional baggage. There's plenty going on, at 93 mins there's hardly any time to deal with any of it.
I still enjoyed a good bit of it. I thought it was about average, nearly worth a 5 on the IMDb. I watched it on Amazon Prime, it might be other places. I wouldn't need to see it again.
