The problem with having a summary-only movie is that you lose the ability to flesh out much of what is intended in the story. So here are a few of the things that are explained in the first draft of the full script but due to space limitations, they didn't make it into the summary. Hopefully this will make your 'viewing' of INVADING REDEMPTION more enjoyable.

WARNING: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!

GUNS IN SPACE:
Yeah, the guards are armed. However, they don't have weapons that shoot traditional bullets. Because shooting at someone in a space station isn't the smartest thing to do. The guns that the guards have shoot out liquid-filled capsules similar to paintballs. These capsules contain a trace amount of a nerve gas that renders the victim paralyzed. There is discussion regarding if these weapons will work against the aliens. As shown at one point, they don't.

SIX-MONTH ROTATION:
The guards are on a six-month rotation. This means that none of the non-prisoners are up there for longer than six months at a time. Almost all of the station is automated or able to be easily done by guards in order to keep the number of personnel on the station to a minimum.

BFG:
Yeah, there's a superweapon hidden in the half-finished research station that is connected to Redemption. This weapon is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) missile, similar to the EMP aftermath radiating from a nuclear explosion. The resulting electric and magnetic fields couple with mechanical-based electrical systems that interrupt current, making the affected devices just stop working.

LET'S GET IT ON:
So, what's the deal with Allegra and Skyler? Well, yeah, they're in love. They do a good job of trying to hide it, though. Allegra's concern about being heard through the vent to Kale's cell brings up that she's never had anyone in the cell next to her for this particular reason, but now that they're running out of cells, Skyler couldn't assign him anywhere else. So how exactly do a guard and a prisoner get it on without having to worry about pesky things like having space-babies? Well, due to it being a co-ed station, prisoners are mandatorily sterilized when they get sent there.

THEY DID WHAT?:
Did the aliens mind-control Kale into killing his wife? Yeah, they did. Kale's always plagued by nightmares involving seeing his wife and son smiling at him one second and then coming-to with a bloody knife in his hand and their bodies on the floor. During some of his flashbacks, he is on trial and insisting that he doesn't remember a thing. Skyler's flashbacks include a briefing where Westing and he are told how to access the weapon room and how they physically need to be there in order to do it. So how do the aliens know they need to take over their minds in order to get the information? Well, they're smart and they're cautious. They spent a long time observing the human culture undetected and learned that the best way to get into our heads is... well, to get into our heads.

ALLEGRA'S A NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY GIRL:
At the end, Allegra's fully under the control of the alien. Why don't they just mind-control Skyler and Kale and get them to disarm the weapon? Because most of the resources of the aliens are working on controlling the scouts, making it difficult to control anyone remotely. The alien that finds Allegra was actually looking for Skyler, since he's the one who needs to open the weapons cache. Unable to locate him since he's out of the station and off its immediate sensors, the alien uses Allegra to track him down. When they locate Kale and Skyler, the alien is far too large to fit into the room and calls the smaller scouts, which takes away a good portion of its control. Since it was easier to maintain a lock on Allegra than to form one on Skyler at this point, the alien uses Allegra to stall for time until the scouts catch up and can reach into the weapons room.
