Prospect Reviews
Watch 2018's Prospect for the story, of course, but also for the impeccable aesthetic.
| Mar 21, 2023
Prospect is largely indebted to old-school westerns—the lawless pursuit of these gems is akin to an interstellar gold rush—and Pascal’s character fits into the equation as the charming gunslinger archetype.

The small details throughout Prospect, which have obviously been thought through and labored over, do much to immerse the viewer in the intense situations.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 3, 2022
After a slow start, this sci-fi adventure establishes itself as a modest but lovingly crafted "Western in space."
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2021
Overall, this is an effective and intelligent slice of cosmic true grit.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2021
Prospect succeeds by nodding to all that came before, blazing a different trail.

A treasure hunter and his daughter go after a valuable substance on an alien moon, not knowing who else they will find or how they will get home. The impressive feature debut from writer/director partners Zeke Earl and Chris Caldwell.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2021
The practical effects do an extraordinary job... And despite some similarities to Pascal's role as the Mandalorian, his roguish performance is quite different here, not the least because we can see that charismatic face.

Given its budget restrictions, the film wisely chooses to show us the fringes of this future world where the lower social strata struggles to survive with make-shift means of transportation and low-fi space gear.

It's a minimalist science fiction film that builds an impressive atmosphere, but that can't escape from superficiality. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 15, 2020
Stripped-down, lo-fi, retro-futuristic science fiction.
| Original Score: B | Jun 30, 2020
Prospect offers a riveting survival story in space.

'Prospect' is a visually stunning film and may be one of the best lower budget sci-fi films we've seen in years.
| Original Score: 4.5 | Aug 15, 2019
Prospect is visually and audibly dazzling, with compelling character development but crash lands into an over-stylised and simplistic storyline.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 10, 2019
With seemingly a lot of world-building to inform proceedings, but much of it unseen, the filmmakers keep a firm hand on the wheel, with Prospect remaining engrossing until the last.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 15, 2019
The otherworldly aspect of the film is very important, it being sci-fi and all, but the ability of the designers to create a practical, lived-in world makes Prospect a film to which the viewer can connect.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 15, 2019
Prospect deserves to find a cult audience and it's well worth taking a chance on.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2019
A boldly original and impressively stylish cerebral gem.

Confident in its sci-fi knowledge from the 60s to present day indies likeMoon, Prospect acknowledges these references and schemas but confidently creates something fresh and vibrant.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2019
In Prospect, the mundane becomes memorable. History repeats itself in theme, but this sci-fi sandbox is a whole new world. Imaginative, robust, and impressively fine-tuned.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 8, 2019
