To me, this movie is perfection.
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MoreAn old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
... View MoreWhen the zombie appears and takes a drill and drills into the guy's stomach, it's just comical. It's supposed to be sci-fi horror, but it's much more like "Scary Movie", except that it takes itself seriously. If you had a lot to drink and then watched this film, it might be hilariously bad.
... View MoreFantastic visuals matched with excellent pacing, great acting and realistic dialogue, accompanied with masterful direction. Only problem is, the film has a bit of an absurd storyline...which may be a reason why you don't want to see this. Believe me, when you watch this, that absurd storyline does not seem as absurd when you view this. If you liked Gravity, you will absolutely love this film! The visuals in this film are absolutely stunning, and instead of dumb, quick, jumpy shots like in a lot of bad films, this film takes its time with it's shots, which is exactly what I like to see in film. This is not just another entertaining B-movie, despite the silly plot, but it's not as bad as a blockbuster, either. It's a film, admittedly with a bad storyline, with some of the greatest direction I've ever seen in a space movie. If you don't know the plot, don't search it up to see what it is, or it'll spoil the film for you. Instead, watch the film with zero expectations, preferably in a cinema, and prepare to be enthralled.
... View MoreGood script, excellent dialogue and acting, first rate prop design, photography and special effects... granted the basic idea is fifty years old but it has never been done so well. The cast is full of convincing actors who would normally never appear in a space zombie movie and all of them treat the whole thing like a serious character drama with total commitment.As a sci-fi fan I appreciate it when a script simply refuses to ignore the rules of physics. Apart from the mystery bacteria/fungus/whatever that turns people into vacuum-breathing space zombies this film is painstakingly realistic, and the astronauts may be scared and under pressure but they never turn stupid. I found it more realistic than The Martian and more enjoyable for about a tenth the budget. It's fast, violent and scary and it had me gripped from start to finish.How they did this for seven million dollars I do not know but if that really is all it cost why can't we have a few like this every year? A perfect B movie, and I mean that as the most sincere compliment.
... View MoreA good science fiction is the best thing in the world, but if it's done poorly it is a pain in the butt. And this one has so many unexplainable aspects, it's hard to watch. They seem to know exactly what happen, even if this is the first time they've met with an alien life form. Why would anyone send the team, risking more lives to search for a dead body? They tell the base station that they find and alien life form and what the HQ does? Yeah, nothing. How can someone with severe claustrophobia be an astronaut? Probably they never tested that during training, really realistic. It seems they have 1 first aid kit for the whole mission so if they didn't carry it to the rover, there's no way they can deal with a simple cut. Oh, and the girl can't walk unless they but a bandage to her really small cut. The girl's space suite was cut with a knife, but if she doesn't pull the knife out, the oxygen can not go out of the suite, yeah right. And it goes on and on and on and on. It could be a small budget film, still they should be able to find someone with a sense of logic. I give it a 5 because I live space mission movies, but it was bad
