Better than most sci fi b film. Worth watching.
I'll try to review this without giving spoilers. Or at least without giving any spoilers of important twists or turn outs. This film gives us planetary land survival, laser gun shoot out fights, and even a pretty unique spaceship battle experience in the film's first fifteen minutes. The space battles in the beginning lasted longer than expected to my pleasure.
The movie is very satisfying in the sci-fi theme aspect. Everything I could've hoped for to scratch that itch thankfully.
The main protagonist is cool, well performed, and likable. Aggressive and not a pushover. A spot of humor and attitude every here and there made me giggle time to time. This helped with feeling a caring and connection with the character. The movie even managed to squeeze a tear out of me in that regard in a serious moment. The aggressive and clever fights were kind of unexpected to me and enjoyable.
The space fight was enjoyable in its realism. Yes yes, we could hear the machines in a vacuum. It was determined long ago that for then joy of film, it is more pleasing to us movie goers to hear some fun sounds. By realism I am more referring to the realistic outcomes and fragility of these desperate minds fighting in tin cans in space. I believed this to be a European film, it might be, but in so believing that it was not an American one, I knew that the film might not have happy outcomes. I expected the inevitable realistic views of most euro films. I was not disappointed. The realism and constant threats, and grey acceptances of life as it is, instead of the fake positivity of many American films...ah this was refreshing.
Yet still this is a story of spirit and not giving up. Of trying even when bereft of hope. Of knowing that even when you know there is no hope for your own survival; you still might find a way to help others before your own light of life burns out.
I recommend this for any fans of sci-fi or fans of that spirit.
