![]() ![]() Finally, a strange glowing tree-like crystalline organism is discovered, and analysis of a small sample of its tissue reveals vast amounts of encoded information about Earth civilization including dozens of extinct languages including Aramaic and Sumerian.īack on the Magellan, a hostile life form suddenly invades the vessel and kidnaps a dozen people. A Native American-like tribe called the "Inaku" also lives there and it is not clear how they ended up billions of light years away from Earth. One pilot manages to eject, and the Magellan rescue team trying to locate him discovers an artificial cavern where the power source is located. ![]() Meanwhile, in orbit around the icy planet, two reconnaissance craft launched by the Magellan are attacked and destroyed by the same enormous alien spacecraft that destroyed Newton 5 and the Io military base. A ground survey team discovers a vast subterranean energy network with a power source located some 500 kilometers from the ship. The Magellan crew soon starts to explore their immediate surroundings. The mission was kept secret from the public although the Union leadership was informed about the threat. The crystal contains space coordinates to sector 9 as well as dire warnings about some undefined threat in space, so a decision was made to build the Magellan and discover the source of the meteor. Rumla managed to crack the code and discovered that it contained specifications for the construction of an advanced space vessel. The meteor contained an extremely old and heat resistant crystal, named "ICE-13" by Earth scientists who discover an encryption in the crystallized structure itself. Rumla now reveals to the astonished crew that six years previously, a meteor crashed into a remote area of Sumatra. The Magellan is stranded and its crew has to cope with the fact that returning to Earth is impossible. It is located so far from Earth even the Andromeda Galaxy is not visible in the sky. The planet's orbit is also highly unusual, resembling that of a spacecraft rather than a planet. The planet has a breathable atmosphere and earth-like gravity, but an unknown force field keeps the Magellan and the 1426 refugees on board trapped on the surface. After traveling through interstellar space, the vessel is drawn towards an unidentified ice planet where it lands automatically in a crater. Pursued by the alien spaceship, the refugees head toward section 9 in space-the Magellan's original destination-when the research vessel suddenly is ejected into hyperspace by an unknown space phenomenon. ![]() Rumla (encouraged by Senator Jeremy Uvan who was on the military base) insists that the Magellan continue its original classified mission rather than return to Earth. Base commander Noah Trager, aided by recently graduated space cadets, manages to escape to the nearby Magellan research vessel commanded by professor Karteez Rumla. The alien spaceship then proceeds to annihilate a military base on Jupiter's moon Io. The Newton 5 space colony is suddenly attacked by a vast extraterrestrial spacecraft, killing 200,000 people in the process. The movie takes place some thirty years after a devastating war between the Union and the Consortium that resulted in the death of 10% of the Earth's population. The film was directed by Winrich Kolbe and its cast included Wes Studi as Commander Trager. Ice Planet is a 2001 Canadian- German science fiction film produced as a pilot movie for an intended TV series. ![]()
