Didn't they have some gravity-generating system aboard the space-ship? Seems plausible |
@ Guest-3659 Another first time reviewer To be fair it wasn't as bad as those cop drama where the SWAT team leader is a young, black woman often times in a wheelchair and who just happens to lesbian Or the fire chief, judge... is a young, black woman just out of high school These kind of scenarios DO detract from the realism. But again to be fair, despite the Commander on the first mission to Mars being female she was more 'mature' and she did the that her two colleagues on board were the best out of thousands of applicants nominated by their professors from around the world. The black man who couldn't climb wasn't an astronaut, he wasn't trained as was stated a couple of times in the movie. And seriously, could anyone trained or otherwise climb that 150 foot 'tether' out in outer space Just looking at it gave me vertigo. No way, Jose! And it was the female who knocked the panel off the side of Kingfisher, the space-ship and watched it fall into deep space; she also lost her grip and fell down the tether and dropped the oxygen tank in the process As for the guy growing stuff it looked like cress you can find in the grocery store You can throw the 'science' out with garbage truck in this one - there is no science here That is a laughable suggestion This is no Stanley Kubrick movie where they go to pain-staking lengths to get the science right. And what was it with the solar panel out on the 'tether' with the oxygen cylinders all about anyway? None of that really made sense Nice closing shot of Mars where you can see that it is still far, far away but just a little bit closer than here on planet Earth Audio and video were excellent, the crisp video make it very pretty to look at |
Guest-3636 We all know most if not all movies lately are low budget what we want to know if it's a watchable low budget or not,Reaper tells us that and posts something useful,unlike you |
got news for yah reaper in case yah hadnt noticed everthing for the last year has been low budget think we got that now |
The "watchable low budget or not" is the new standard I was looking for.. Thank you to all participants! |
@ Guest-1367 Yep, nobody walking on the ceiling either like in 2001:A Space Odyssey It's expensive to have the astronauts 'floating around' and this is 'low-budget' |
PLOT SPOILER @ Guest-3036 He was hiding in the roof-space of the space-ship supposedly arming the rockets before take-off and dozed off When he fell out he bust the carbon dioxide filtering machine in the roof-space leaving the crew short on oxygen |
First time commenting on a movie: Great production and watchable for sure, but... I'm also disappointed with the story in two ways: 1) The science is not even close to that of 'The Martian,' which received all the praise; I believe this one will be dissected and destroyed in the coming days, particularly the "aurora-like" solar storm that can conveniently rage for hours, and all of its effects. In real life, solutions are found with great ingenuity, and this huge ship surely has more resources than 'Apollo 13' had, and they saved the day. 2) Sociologically, it has strong independent women who can offer their 110% but also wimpy inept men who can't carry their own weight, can't grow stuff, can't climb, can't hold the food inside themselves during lift off, etc. etc. But, hey, it's Netflix, so, no surprises here. |
If by low-budget you mean this wasn't filmed in outer space, no it wasn't, surprisingly it was filmed in studios in Germany But how many space movies are filmed in space? Anyway, this has a bit of 2001:A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, Gravity and Silent Running It managed to hold my attention for the almost full two hours run-time which is really saying something these days Regardless of budget it looked good - the space-ship and the space scenes. No shaky cardboard sets like you would see in 70s sci-fi. Considering 2001: A Space Odyssey was made in 1968 you would expect space scenes in 2021 to be at least half as good. Although it is almost unbelievable that 2001 was made over half a century ago! Stowaway had some originaliish plot-lines (I though for a moment that Zoe was going to get locked out the space-ship) as well as has-been-done-to-death plot-lines, as well as a few semi-breath-holding moments, but it wasn't quite as argggggggggggggggg as say Gravity with someone falling from the space-ship into outer space sort of thing. Although gravity still seemed to exist aboard this space-ship, no one floating around, floating pens as in 2001. Maybe that would have taken the project over budget. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement. It also seems to just kind of end, but it serves for an ending - who cares If you enjoy space-movies it is definitely worth a watch, or maybe if you are looking for something 'watchable' |
