I'm not sure why Forsaken has attracted so many negative reviews. Suffice to say, this is a thoughtful film, not an action romp. I suspect many came to it, with the latter expectation.

What is knowledge, what does it mean to explore? How far will you go it to uncover the secrets of the universe? Is this not at the heart of space exploration? What price are you willing to pay to know?

These are the sorts of questions Forsaken asks, very subtly. This is an intelligent film for the thinking viewer. I loved it but then I was willing to spend the time appreciating what this film imparts.

Acting is solid, visuals are top notch but really its the compelling story, that sets this film apart.

Come to this film if you are in a thoughtful mood. If you are looking for pure exposition and action, keep looking.

10/10.

I don't understand the poor ratings. I thought this movie was quite good. It looked in the beginning like a clone of The Martian but it was not that at all. I thought the main cast was very good and the story kept you interested. Worth the watch.

Where The Martisn focused on the astronaut, this movie was very much about the activities on earth (without forgetting the astronaut). It showed commercial shenanigans to make money and politicians using the stranded astronaut for political gain. In the midst of this, you had dedicated staff truly trying to save the stranded astronaut only to be continually frustrated by those who did not care. It had a gritty realism and then also some mysteries on Mars.

Space, life force, good visuals, ettects and lanscapes. However the actual story (without spoilers) is a bit of a puzzle. Give it a go if you like Sci Fi. It not visually poor or offensive. Voice overs a little cringey... with a few redicuously funny parts and ideas scalped from Hollywood movies. Above B movie, naive with budget.

The movie is not a mere story about an astronaut left on Mars. It's more about politics and money that become more important than a human life. This story is totally opposite to "The Martian",

I think I've just been a witness to the worst movie ever made.

I won't waste much of my time with this review, but you should expect: bad acting, ridiculous plots, cheap philosophy just because and a nonsense ending.

It's not even funny or entertaining. An eighty something minute movie that feels like a 3 hour nightmare. Boring and ridiculous.

Don't waste your time.
