POSITIVES…
- An original indie-sci-fi movie that successfully mergers an alien planet with a prospector frontier western premise.
- The world building is incredible, in what feels like a lived-in reality of space travel and exploration, with visuals to match.
- Gotta love all the jargon and detail that we’re just suppose to accept at face value.
- Sophie Thatcher does a good job giving us a character that’s moody with subtle emotions.
- Pedro Pascal is charming as heck, and gives us a strong performance as Ezra.
- High concept story that felt personal, thought provoking, and exciting whenever it needs to be. It kept my attention from beginning until the end.
NEGATIVES…
- There are some narrative gaps that will bug certain nitpickers.
- Movie might not move fast enough for some people.
P.S….
- watch the original short film this is based on - vimeo.com/90049558
