Terrible! (SPOILERS)
I really enjoy a good sci-fi, actually I even enjoy a mediocre one, but
this movie is a mess from the start to the end! It's so full of ****,
it's not even funny!
Full-power thrusters on for the whole flight, ship moving approximately
at the speed of light (as far as I was able to understand from the
dialogs), then some 100m before the station they just turn them off
and, like, stop?
Explosions in the vacuum of the space, propagating all the way to the Kassandra on its' way back to Earth?
What now, are they flying to Station 42 or not?
Lights randomly going off, then on, in a different color, just for a
cheap thrill.
How in the world was that guy able to find the cryo container with the
sister? And how comes he just knew the sister could not be awaken?
That little girl, awakens from a dream-like "simulation" to find
herself separated from her parents on a worn down space ship, and she
never says a word? Never shows any kind of being scared? I have kids, a
kid in that situation would be TERRIFIED! Oh what, *I* would be
terrified! Think about Neo waking up into the real world in Matrix, and
multiply that with 100.
Evil company hiding the fact that the Earth is habitable again... for
what reason? What's in it for the company? How comes nobody except a
few terrorists know about Earth being habitable?
Speaking of terrorists, why don't they just show the videos of the
habitable earth to the people, instead of blowing up "bases" (and, I
suppose, killing people in the process), in the fight against the
"machines"?
The movie is filled up with product placement (at least at the
beginning - BP, Lenovo, OSRAM), it's a mixture of ideas from Firefly
(chinese text all over the place), Alien series (even the two
maintenance crew members are a pale copy of the original Nostromo
maintenance crew), Matrix and probably a few more movies I didn't
realize.
Not an ounce of originality, not an ounce of a story one could actually
believe in, and, frankly, not even scary. There is no sense, no
message, no nothing in this movie. I wonder how it could receive so many positive reviews here.
