The Osiris Child

Definitely an underrated movie. The acting, the plot, the filming, the sets, everything is perfectly placed. I can only recommend this movie to real science fiction's lovers. I give an 8 stars without hesitation (I would have put 9, but let's stay objective).

This movie has decent acting for the most part, very good effects and CG, a good score and a reasonable story - you get involved, care sufficiently about the characters and so forth. Its not earth- shatteringly original, but I didn't feel short-changed at any point. There is a lot of attention to detail, nice shots, some really nice sci-fi ideas (Love the perpetually revolving prison cells, for example...). Some bits are a little annoying, like the daughters diary voice-overs, a bit Terminator rip-off, but the whole thing works well, looks good and feels suitably polished to warrant your time. Its not going to break any new genre ground, and the gobby title will put off some, but this could easily be a decent pre-marvel cinema release, and I enjoyed it a lot. Some other reviews here look like shills, but it really is head-nodding-at-the-end decent.

An interesting film from start to finish, far more polished a presentation than the budget would suggest. It's a mixture of previous film styles like Star Wars, Alien and Mad Max but none the worse for that with a good well paced story line.

No one will be up for an Oscar but the standard of acting was really good with well filled out characters that you actually grew to care about or dislike!.Throw in some good special effects and photography together with a quality sound track and you've got a good film to watch. The only drawback for me was the last part of the film where it seemed an hours worth of story had been condensed into 30 minutes. It may be the film was cut to fit a 90 minute time span rather than 100 to 120 minutes but it seemed very choppy at the end.

Any one interested in Sci Fi should find this an excellent afternoons entertainment.

Nowadays, people ought to check a IMDb score before watching a movie. But naturally there's lots of points of view there. So, this time I'll try to keep it short. This is a decent modern SF production. No one should be disappointed. Obviously, the production team seem to kept it up within the given budget and gave us a timely well paced, nicely trimmed script and eye-lubricated product for every SF lover out there. Of course, one shouldn't expect some "eye soul candy" nor genre-breaking original ideas (as genre in general, not only within movies, but also games or literature). But, as I noticed above about briefness, we all should be satisfied within the given parameters. A recommendation.

Though it could have a better script, the plot is quite interesting and the characters are likeable. The CGI and special effects are both average. Overall a good movie to ease your mind off the unending Marvel Superheroes Marathon that is currently flooding Hollywood.
