This movie brought the "fiction" back into science-fiction movies!!!

I was really astonished with the innovation and originality this movie brought... It has been years since we last saw an attempt like that, movies tend to become a generic marketing mess to please the corporate overlords with bombarding the same... movie.. in a different package... Osiris Child begs to differ.. and it does it in a very good way! No product placements, no generic plot, no pseudo realism (an other demand of the marketing overlords) it's like a 21st century Star Wars without having anything to do with Start Wars other than the core elements that made those movies great in their genre... Pure fantasy not filtered out by PC think tanks and survey polls, nice action, imaginative plot and very nice overall scenery, costumes cast and a, very carefully selected, colorful pallet. The only downside is that they gave in on one of the corporate cravings and squished this great movie into 90 minutes of film.. The plot deserved to be easily a 2 hour one if not a 3 hour one without stressing the audience... This is the only reason I gave this movie 7/10 instead of 10/10! The what ever minor issues it might have are surely forgiven and ignored for this movie is a rare gem appearing after so many years of stagnation and Hollywood should get a lesson or two by Shane Abbess' action science-fictional masterpiece!EDIT: I lowered my rating to 6/10 because I was about 20 minutes before the movie finish while writing this review... Nothing changed dramatically its only what I mentioned in my last paragraph this movie should have more time for the plot to "stretch its legs" develop the characters a little more and for us the audience to get into this new world deeper than we did. Unfortunately, I presume in order to put an end within 90 minutes, they wrapped the last scenes in haste and put some clichés in mix too and "that's all she wrote"... Still one of the best Sci-Fi movies I watched the last couple of years if not even more.. If it only could last longer...

Competent, above average indie SciFi...Not a waste of time but...

The roombla.com review for this film hit it on the head - it's an ambitious, at times visually interesting effort that is like an occasionally tasty ghoulash of tried and true SciFi tropes and themes. Not always a bad thing as a superb film like Serenity proves, but here, despite good performances and fairly capable writing, is somehow not quite enough to lift this effort to "great" status.

The technicals are all competently done with some generally interesting visuals. The acting is non-cringeworthy and played straight. Worth a view for fans of the genre. I will also say that I would indeed be interested to watch other efforts from the creative team behind this one.

A solid 6...check it out if you enjoy this stuff.
