"Prospect" is a cinematic gem that brilliantly captures the essence of a meticulously constructed world, gripping storylines, and realistic character development. It is a refreshing departure from the clichéd Hollywood blockbusters, offering a more grounded and believable narrative.
The female lead in the movie is portrayed as a strong, independent character without resorting to caricature or implausible exaggerations. Her strength lies in her resilience and the way she navigates through the challenges thrown her way. The relationship between her and the male protagonist is one of the highlights of the film. Their dynamic is complex, intriguing, and evolves organically throughout the story.
The script is a masterful blend of unexpected twists and grounded storytelling, ensuring that the audience remains engaged and invested in the narrative. The world-building in the movie is exceptional, with subtle details sprinkled throughout the story without feeling forced or overly explanatory.
The characters act in a reasonable and consistent manner, with a sense of honor and camaraderie and cooperation. Something dearly missing from movies like "Predator: Prey". The settlers, for example, demonstrate a genuine sense of unity and moral compass, like paying up.
A minor gripe with the movie is its limited exploration of the technological and scientific aspects. An additional 10 minutes to showcase the de-orbiting maneuver or delve deeper into the weaponry and suits would have been a welcome addition. However, this does not detract from the film's overall impact.
In conclusion, "Prospect" is a tightly woven, captivating film that offers a realistic and immersive experience. It is a testament to the power of storytelling when it is focused on character development, a well-structured narrative, and an imaginative world that leaves the audience craving more.

I thouroughly enjoyed this first episode. It's intimate, well acted and well done. It's playful with many little details in imagery and intricate sound effects.
Thank you thank you thank you, for creating something that not everybody enjoys. Please take solace in almost 50% of viewers that enjoy even more so. That's what non-linear TV is made for.
To all the people giving this 1 Star: Go watch something else, no offense.

The first 3 or 4 episodes are really good. Slow, suspensful, creepy horror. Everything makes sense, the acting and the script are refreshingly solid.
But then it all goes south into a cheap teenie show. It's like they changed the writers. It's not only the overall direction that changes, but also the quality. Many weird mistakes in consistency, the actors become annoying and unrelatable. Suddenly there's nobody to root for.
Unfortunately Netflix shows are doing this all the time. They start out with a strong concept and high quality and then suddenly loose steam after the first episodes. It's very annoying.
This show would have been really great if they kept the style of the first episodes. But like this, it's just another disappointment.
