If there's one thing you can count on SyFy for, it's cheesy made-for-TV movies and miniseries events that try to hide that cheese under several layers of affected darkness.

Once the situation is explained and we have met most of the major characters, the story becomes increasingly engaging.

rotten:
You're left with a woman whose main quest is unsuccessful, and a movie that's glum, long and devoid of any sense of wonder.

In pursuit of political correctness we get an Alice who beats up a knife-toting pirate after first warning him, "Don't even think about it, buddy!"

Caterina Scorsone plays Alice with a nice balance of determination, skepticism, and open-mindedness.
