Rubikon(2022) - Science Fiction - Austria - 1 hr 50min - Set onboard an orbital Space Station this otherwise well done production was apparently written by a collection of hysterical emotional amateurs. When the opening minutes of the story begin the viewer will immediately perceive the skill with which the film has been crafted. Cinematography, color balance, lighting, set design are all composed with experienced professionalism. The acting is convincing and the directing on target. One will believe that a decent Science Fiction movie is on its way. Sadly it quickly becomes apparent that the writers have emotional problems of their own and have mercilessly incorporated those hysterical mental issues into the actions of their characters and the progress of the plot. Professional astronauts acting like bitter demented children having one tantrum after another. It makes no sense to the viewer. There is nothing believable or realistic in the actions of people that would normally be selected for their intelligence, calm demeanor and performance under extreme situations. It is as if the authors have absolutely no idea what it takes to become an astronaut. The overall result is ridiculous and almost unwatchable. Production 8.5 Acting 7.5 Characters 4.0 Plot 2.0 OVERALL: 5.0 (this review 2022nov.05)
