Osiris

Never even having heard about the 2025 movie "Osiris" prior to stumbling upon it. And with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and me giving essentially all movies a fair chance, of course I had to check out what director William Kaufman had to offer.

The movie definitely started out in a good way, lots of action from the very beginning and dropping the audience right into it. The good part about the movie was that the action was essentially non-stop. Most of the movie was combat, which definitely had some appeal to me, as I enjoy action. But at the same time, it also meant that this wasn't exactly a movie that thrived on having the most of in-depth and fleshed out world building. Not that it needed it, in my opinion, but it would make for a boring viewing experience for a more refined audience, I suppose.

Now, you might say that "Osiris" felt like writers William Kaufman and Paul Reichelt borrowed extensively from the "Predator" franchise in certain ways. Yeah, there were lots of similarities throughout the movies to that particular franchise.

Of the entire cast ensemble in "Osiris", I was only familiar with Linda Hamilton. The acting performances in the movie were fair. Keep in mind that this was an all-out action movie from start to end, leaving little room for Shakespearian performances of thespian artisan levels.

Visually then the movie was good. It looked and felt like an alien-based environment, as the majority of the movie took place aboard of a space vessel. The alien design was okay, they were towering brutes, which I definitely liked. However, I have to say that their faces were a bit too primitive.

My rating of director William Kaufman's 2025 movie "Osiris" lands on six out of ten stars.

These soldiers were supposed to be special Ops, yet they moved like they were a high school ROTC team.

You can definitely tell there was no subject matter expert consulted from the military, and the writing was horrible, the writers looked exactly like I thought they would look.

The noise and light discipline was never addressed. And the soldiers stopped using the alien weapon that worked. That was so stupid to me. And why did the directors direct the characters to stop and stare at everything, instead of effectively moving and doing what they're supposed to do.

This is far better than it is being reviewed-nothing groundbreaking or original, but definitely a good watch.

Great cast, good story. I didn't fast forward once (that's a great sign). Itched my sci-fi scratch. The dialogue wasn't perfect, but the cast made it work.

At the end, I wanted to see more.

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 .

Beyond disappointed. I've never seen a movie with so much action that is so run of the mill that I was tired of seeing guns shot. No characters at all that you care about , you don't even remember one of their names. La Monica garret is so much better than this , this is Thomas from 1883, also in lioness ... 2 of the best Shows on television. Why he took this role is just as big of a mystery of why Linda Hamilton did this? She's got James Cameron money ? What do they have that they blackmailed her to be in this garbage? Clearly I love Aliens, and there is several scenes you can tell are a nod to aliens but just really poor execution. What made aliens - Aliens - was the actors , characters , creepy setting and the pulse rifles and advanced weaponry. This has the budget but just misses the mark On every single aspect that made Aliens One of the best sci fi action films of all time. Linda Hamilton is literally in 5 mins of the movie if that.
