This is How Movies Should Be Made

Dreadfully Boring

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Good psych expo of human reaction to nearness of death.One thing I couldn't figure out is what Gerry's role on the ship was, besides being the psyko killer. He's not the engineer, not a pilot, not a medic, not the planetary scientist. He killed expertly enough, but hardly a marine in physique. He knew Chinese and how to sabotage the computer, so maybe a programmer?Just what we need, a villain that is an overweight, knife wielding programmer.

I read the reviews for this movie but gave it the benefit of the doubt. All I can say is that the reviewers were extremely lenient! The story line had some credence until the characters ran out of direction. I have never seen such an abominable display of acting in any movie prior to this. It is summed in in one of the final scenes when one of the crew, who's position I could never figure out; either he was a stowaway or I had nodded off at a critical moment(!) has a knife to one of the few remaining crew member's throat. The Captain, armed with an advanced rifle, gives up and puts his gun down only to be stabbed himself, give me a break! Do not watch this movie or you will lose an hour and a half of your life that can never be replaced, unlike the cast of this mov1e.

This is my first movie review because I think it should be higher and worth a watch. I love the Sci-Fi movies… 5th Element, Star Wars, Aliens, Star Trek (Not TOS) etc. I do not like B rated ones because I expect some good special effects and props. I like a movie to have more scenery then a small control panel on a ship. This movie had several sets and some nice scenes of space. The effects were nice and the plot was easy to follow. It was well edited, flowed and left a little to the imagination at the end. Ignore the lower user reviews, they are more of a pompous one sided I know everything about movies look. Complaining that it is not like other movies. It isn't like other movies. Even the two real critics that reviewed it liked it. The acting was well done and I really thought they pulled off the dialog. If a Sci-Fi movie is worth watching it is over a 5. If it is really entertaining it gets a 7/8.. If you put 5th element and Aliens on the 10 side this movie comes in with an 8 easily.

This was one bizarrely confusing movie. What a mess!I could forgive the sets and the cheap CG. But when they don't even have a decent plan for what the movie is supposed to be ... man it was painful. I could manage to figure out what the basic story line was but I have no idea WHY half the drama on board happened. Why were they freaking killing each other?Any good movie starts in the script. If the script is good it can get by with mediocre special effects, unimaginative sets and unpolished acting. Unfortunately this movie had a confusing, muddled script. For large parts I just couldn't figure out what went on.I like Sci Fi so I will up vote it from 3 (which it really deserves) to 4 for at least TRYING to make a Sci Fi movie.
