Project 'Gemini'

Anything visual in this movie is superb. The CGI, special effects and anything space related is suprisingly good, especially when you see similar US made movies with a tenfold bigger budget looking like a final year filmschool project. Watch any space movie with Bruce Willis in the past ten years and you see what i am talking about.

Now to the bad parts, writing of the story, any dialogue and finally the acting.

Sure, i saw the dubbed version, but still - none of the scenes involving people, looked like they actually were people.

I liked the final twist, but the plotholes are just a little to big to overcome. There are several places where the movie could have taken us to some seriously interesting places, storywise - but instead it always went back to cliche´town.

In the past ten years, there have been some really interesting sci fi movies from Russia, but they seem to be hit or miss, and when they miss, they miss big time, and unfortunatly - this one miss the target, and does it big time.

If you want to watch a sci fi horror with a loved one, and know that any of the Alien movies is to scary, this might be good for that.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. And no, not so bad that it is already good and worth seeing how bad it is. Don't. Just don't.

I don't know who created this, but my guess is someone with money saw "Alien" and thought: "I also make good space movie..haha!"

I mean...where do you find a whole cast of actors who have never seen human emotions before? _Any_ emotion.

There are no words to describe the dialogue adequately. Imagine a verbal vomit of cliché after cliché after cliché.

At first we laughed at how unbelievably awful it was but that wore off and we were barely able to survive the whole experience.

I cant rate it because we don't have the entire film available to us here in Australia. What we have is an abominable English language overdubbed version. The dialogue sounds TERRIBLE. It feels like a bunch of simple-minded robots exchanging flat dialogue with pretty much zero or faked emotional nance. Stiff, bland, boring dialogue.

Who knows what the real film feels like? It might be poetic in Russian.

Gone with the deleted original dialogue are all of those smaller sounds that are captured by the microphone on set. As a result the sound design is now lacking.

CGI is good, as is the score. Again, because of the overdubbed version, it's hard to determine even if the casting is good. It looks like it's not, but to be fair we are not hearing any dialogue from the actors we see. Amazon Prime, you cheap numbskulls, let us have the original language option.

The directing was bad - especially directing the cast, who were cringeworthily bad to begin with. That one guy faking a deep voice to sound tough was a joke. But the writing was even worse. There was so much ridiculous and phony dialogue in between a whole bunch of filler with very little substance, that the 98 min runtime felt neverending, especially in the first half. The last half had a little suspense and thrills, and some nice twists and a partially cohesive story coming together, albeit generic and cliched. But what was impressive and the reason for my high score of 5, was the excellent cinematography and stunning visual effects. This film may have been more appreciated as a short, with all the filler and nonsense dialogue edited/cut out. Nevertheless, it's a 5/10 from me.

From the outset this film will tell you how poorly written it is. From characters that are far too stupid to be operating a mission of this magnitude to the standard space exploration film events. The cgi is good. Bit that's about all this one has to offer.
