Sadly Over-hyped

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I liked the idea, the movie was well-produced and spent time and effort on making a film that LOOKED more expensive than it was. Good score and sound and effects.Poorly scripted dialog and too many bad American accents. It's ok if some people in space speak Australian. Also looked like they borrowed the monsters from an original star trek episode...maybe spend some more time on that too.

A rather uninspired Sci-Fi movie that reminds me of a low budget combo of Tom Cruise' Oblivion and Mad-Max with some Avatar thrown in for good measure. One thing I did catch was the famous or infamous Wilhelm Scream at about exactly halfway thu the movie where the prisoners are being released from solitary confinement and the one prisoner says to the others " They let the Devil Loose...:" then immediately after that it cut-scenes to a bad edit of a guard being thrown by one of these creatures. When he goes flying you'll hear the famous Wilhelm Scream at about 52:50.

Rating this movie higher than a six is just nonsense. Okay they did a decent job considering the budget but it's not that good that you will remember it. At least I won't. The CGI are not bad and that's already something. The acting could definitely be better. There are just too much have-you-see-me characters that makes it sometimes boring. The story is just okay but really nothing you never saw before. I'm sure you saw much better movies with the same theme. I am a big sci-fi fan. It's one of my favorite genre of movies. But The Osiris Child won't make it in my top ten, not even my top twenty. But it's fine to watch once I guess.

Oh dear, oh dear. Writer-Director!Which only goes to prove that there are more dumb producers in the movie business than anywhere else!Anyway, this is not at all badly directed (which I confess is a surprise) and the production values are excellent but, oh, the script! OK, so it's not THAT bad but, really, it's not that good, either. It's derivative, sloppy in places, not best organised and some of the dialogue could have done with a script editor.It's difficult to envisage that it set itself up to be anything more that a B-movie but you must presume it did.So, watch it if you're a SF fan with nothing else to do on Tuesday night but just be aware that it doesn't live up to its promise.The music, however, is excellent!But for the want of a better script it's a wasted effort.
