While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
I would give this movie a 7.5 if I could. It has a tremendous cast with a realistic outcome. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. However the only reason I didn't give this a higher rating is because I wasn't a big fan of how the ending kind of turned into a slasher like Jason X. That left me with so many questions that they didn't really answer. How could he have survived not only that long, but able to make it into their ship still alive. Either way if you don't look too deep into the scientific accuracy, it's a thrill ride from beginning to end.
To avoid spoilers, let's just consider the premise:Sun, the single biggest thermonuclear reactor (or bomb, if you like that better) within 4+ lightyears, "stops" somehow and it can be "rebooted" with a bomb (!) To do that, we can deliver that bomb through the mass of the entire star right into the center, and that within a few seconds, though that would require a speed near or beyond that of light.If we solved those problems, why bother with the Sun? Let's just travel to the next habitable world, it's easy.Let's ignore that the Sun couldn't "stop" from being the thermonuclear bomb it is simply because of its own mass and pretend it does exactly that by some miracle (which is truly the only way it could happen). Guess how long it would take for a piece of coal roughly 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the weight of the piece you use for your BBQ? (That's an actual estimate by the way, not just a bunch of zeros.)This (and all the other impossibilities) make this movie unwatchable for anybody with even a hint of critical thinking not because these things are impossible but because the movie fails to communicate that it takes place in an alternative universe where the laws of physics don't apply.
know those movies, where religious ambiguities/supposed-mystery , is slipped in without people KNOWING? ie, from the advertising / edited/re-edited advertising, to make them seem LESS shoving it down your throat?this is movie, is one of those. appears to be sci-fi ... is not.has obsessive metaphor of sun V moon, but little moon, and only the angry-Germans because of this, because of that , 'consequence' , of the AMBIGUITIES OF NEGLECT , as of whoever-else, not understanding what too LITTLE SUN, can do to one.OK, so that's not a loaded premise, now is it? ha!of course it is, and of course UNreasonable guesses as to CAUSES of disease and whatnot, from the past/in history, say NOTHING as of modern Germans/whoever else , under cloud rather-than.but the SPECIFIC religious references are unmistakable, just as much as they are walk-out-of-the-cinema walk-out able...obsessive probably doesn't nail it enough.
When I started watching this it was not long before I realised it needed serious editing, still I stuck with it.It actually had about 15 minutes where it showed some hope but then it just became totally awful.The story line introduced some freddy kruger character with no skin and it just became silly as he went around the ship trying to kill all the crew and of course they were totally helpless.What annoys me the most is how this crap go a 7.3 in IMDb with 200k views.I know to not take much notice of IMDb scores until 20k have scored it, so I can only assume that the studio found some way to game the IBDM system.This is one of those movies that you really regret even starting.You have been warned!
