Featured reviews
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.

Being a devout science fiction fan I've developed a philosophy: "We have to suffer for our sci-fi." Meaning that until recently there have been so few choices in sci-fi and even though most low budget attempts are mediocre and cheesy, we suffer through them anyway because we love the genre.
Every now and then a low budget indie comes along that surprises us by being even better than most high budget kin."Time Lapse," "John Dies in the End"and "Revolt" are prime examples of these overachievers. "Science Fiction Volume One: The Osiris Child" is also in this category.
Set in the future, the story of SFVOOC, (abbreviated title)is about a disgraced former space pilot who sets off on a barren planet with a convict whose escaped the prison from hell in a race against time to save the pilot's twelve year old daughter -- a cross between "The Road Warrior" and "Alien." It's a gritty Aussie film with few pretensions a good story and good acting. Released around the same time as "Alien Covenant," it is head and shoulders above Ridley Scott's ponderous, idiotic remake of his sci fi classic. I would go so far as to recommend skipping AC and watch SFVOOC instead. You'll have a lot more fun and be far less annoyed.
SFVOOC is not a perfect film like "Ex-Machina" but an enjoyable effort worthy of our time.

Thats not to say that this is a terrible film, far from it. The productions values were good and the acting was pretty good also.
The problem here is the script and pacing as well as some editing. Its clunky and Non Linear and is broken up into chapters.
The problem with this is that none of the reveals in the chapters, in the form of flashbacks tell us anything really interesting, they work more as a conduit for understanding the next scene/chapter.
The film also seems to take itself way too seriously with hammy dialogue and what i call Hollywood paint by number exposition.
There could have been real mystery here but instead they reveal this to us, the viewer within the first 5 minutes. So we have no mystery or suspense.
What about action ?? Well there is very little of that either, what little there is, was however done quite well but nothing very unique or with a wow factor.
Humour or dark humour was virtually non existent.
The whole wasteland environment was vaguely pushed upon but with not enough meat on the bones for it to really set the scene.
What your left with here is a quite well produced, quite well acted, average script with average sfx and a fairly bland story with an underwhelming ending.
It would be interesting to see the people who made this do something with a better script and story and something a bit less generic and average.
Overall you have a pretty forgettable sci fi film which is a shame as you can see the effort put into the project.

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.
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).
