Aaron K Good premise, started off well, good cinematography but was let down massively by script and the lead actors poor Martin Lawrence impression Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Adam L This started out fun, but the acting and plot were a flop in the end. I really did like the way this move was shot though, the cinematics were there, the story just needed some work. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Bristal N A feel-good, sci-fi action thriller. For those wanting to get more into the sci-fi/thriller genre this is a great start. It carries a comedic tone throughout the movie, and high stress moments are well balanced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review Gary H Its not the best I have seen and its nothing new, but it was fun Sci-Fi and the CGI was very good, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others :) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Igor S The dialogue is a bit bad, and at times cringy, especially in the forced intimate tension, where it seemed like it was written by a 13 year old who has never had a girlfriend; the delivery on the main character's backstory was forced; it used lighting tricks to give it an aesthetic but it was all done to mask the lack of budget/originality in set design. But i still had fun and a few jokes actually landed. I have a saint's patience tho. I think most people will probably be bored watching this. Particularly because everything is so dark and there is nothing to entertain the eye, scenario wise(except for neon lights in the second half). This could have been better with a little more originality in the script, set design, and a little bit more budget. The movie felt like a wallking/talking simulator. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Troy R Honestly a decent SciFi movie. The movie basically presents the scenario of what it would be like if we could send people into space regularly. Things like inequality in gear between different pay grades, money saving decisions that lead to unfortunate scenario, etc. It isn't groundbreaking, there is no crazy intricate story, but its just a decent 1hr 1/2 SciFi Action movie. The monsters were interesting and had their own niche to play. I think they may have been a bit overused to push the story along, but no major complaints. There are a couple of jumps here and there and some funny moments. Movie had a believable storyline, reasonable motivation for characters, and a decent ending. The end credit music was a nice touch.
