Trivia:
The tag-line "Even in space, the ultimate enemy is man" is a reference to the previous success of Alien (1979). moreGoofs:
Plot holes: Concerning the incident where the worker descends in the depressurizing elevator, without a full pressure suit -- surely there would be a manual override for the elevator controls, or an Emergency Power Off button to press, in order to save him! moreQuotes:

Dr. Marian Lazarus: 24. I've got initiative.
Marshal William T. O'Neil: Well. Good for you.
Dr. Marian Lazarus: Wanna know how many in the six months before that? Two.
Marshal William T. O'Neil: Are you sure?
Dr. Marian Lazarus: I'm *unpleasant*, I'm not *stupid*! Of *course* I'm sure- I can *count*!

The movie is amazingly realistic in regard to the technology used and in regard to the human characters.
I totally agree with OP Voutilainen, who wrote a very good comment on this movie on 24 October 2001.
The movie is never superficial if you look at its characters: The bad are not simply bad but realistically brutal. The good are not simply heroic, they rather strive to survive and struggle to keep what's left of their personal dignity and values after the school of life.
People of the future will possibly wonder why anyone ever liked such a "normal life"-movie. The answer is: Simply because of the everyday life dignity that people emanate in the movie.
Really a great positive movie !
