The Osiris Child

For some this may have bitten more than it can chew. Having said that, I don't think it's a bad thing to dream big rather than to settle on something small from the beginning. The ending is a bit ... well ominous, but then I have no idea how this fairs to the book(s) this is obviously based on.

It has some quality actors in it too and the action and set pieces are very well thought of. Still this will not become a Science Fiction classic as far as I can tell. But it is a decent effort and has some very interesting ideas ... also the makeup and other practical effects are really well done.

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).

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.

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.
