As Karel said.

A logline is a concise summary of the plot upto either the midpoint or the beginning of the final act, phrased as a single sentence. Easiest thing to do, is read other peoples and the corresponding comments.

Even as a comp, I'm struggling to tie those two together. Which elements are taken from which? A comp with no additional information, especially when it's simply a "movie meets movie" comp, can be tough to sell simply because how is the reader/listener supposed to understand which elements from which? Say something like "Jaws in space" (Alien) and you get what sort of plot you're looking at. Or give us a something that suggests a distinct visual style, or method of storytelling. Or a well-known film thrown into another genre - "Home Alone as a horror". Whatever it is, a comp must be as specific as possible, as a logline should. It's your idea, make sure people see your idea.
