Osiris

This was b-grade Sci-Fi.. fun, not too deep, and something you'd watch when nothing else on. As others have said, it tries to be a mash of Aliens and Predator with more emphasis on Predator (I think). It is quite predictive, certainly no jump scares. But, it got me involved enough to scream "aim for the feet", a few times - if you have watched it, I'm sure that'll ring a bell. There is a lot of nostalgia in there, to be seen in it, but if you haven't seen those other movies, you wouldn't be missing out. Keep your expectations low, and you may enjoy the ride.. It's good enough to watch and perhaps bad enough to become a cult SciFi classic.. Only time will tell. I hope there is a director's cut of this, as it'd be interesting to see what was left out. Happy viewing!

Abandon all brains, ye who enter here - this must be your rule if you watch Osiris. The logic failures are too many to count: the aliens are heavily infected with the well-known Stormtrooper syndrome (like the terrorists in the beginning), and our heroes seem to have the unlimited ammo cheat. On top of that, they most of the time forget they got grenades to use or take the powerful alien guns from the dead and just use them... Anyway, if you're able to switch off your brain, you'll get some B-trash action that's entertaining to a certain degree. But in the last third, it runs out of steam and gets boring - too much bumbum and nothing else. In this sense, it reminds me of the last Wick movies, including Ballerina.

Still, the production isn't too bad, and the entertainment factor - if you like this kind of action movie - is okay. Like many movies these days, Osiris mostly lacks a well-written script, and the story and ideas feel like they were just "glued together" by some AI from other action and sci-fi films. To mind come movies like Predator, Pandorum, Doom etc.

A group of commandos is captured in the middle of a battle and transported on board a ship belonging to a hostile race of aliens.

You need to switch your brain off, disengage it, and you may just find some entertainment for the next ninety minutes. There are tons of mindless action, with some fair acting, good costumes, and some pretty effective action sequences.

At times, I felt like I was playing a game from back in 2006; it had that vintage kind of feel. It would be easy to dismiss it outright, but for a bit of escapism, it was fun. You'll wait for a plot, and there is one, but it's a bit on the thin side, and you could argue it's a bit of a stretch.

The award for the most action-packed sequence of all time goes to this movie; it was quite something and seemed to go on eternally, but it was good; it left you breathless and definitely gave you an idea of what was to come.

I'd urge you to manage your expectations, this film had a relatively small budget, in light of that it delivers something rather surprising. I personally wouldn't class it as a horror, more an action sci-fi movie.

I only recognised Linda Hunt; her name came as a surprise in the credits. The cast did a decent job.

6/10.

Look on researching this was done at a fraction of the budget compared to a lot of movies , yet is entertaining, reasonable looking monsters and some great fight scenes . Don't listen to the negative reviews , if you like scifi and aliens , you could see way worse . Couple of actors you should recognise too!

What a waste of time!! I should learn by now that when a movie writer and director are the same, the movie is a flop. Cliche from beginning to end, roles and writing, it had a good budget to be better.

A cheap knock off from alien, predator and terminator but in a very very very bad way.

If you are a sci fi fan, don't watch it, it is borderline disrespectful .
