I don't even know where to start.
I LOVE space movies, and when i saw the movie was Swedish together with Viaplay, i knew i had to watch it.
But. what the F.... The effects was great i, so it seemed like they had everything to make a great space blockbuster movie. Yet the plot, it seemed solid from what i read on Viaplay.
Boy was i wrong, i mean, it wasn't a disaster. But as a HUGE space movie fanatic, this was kind of a disappointment and it hurts to say, it really does.
So, we have a reactor failure, and are then forced to eject the fuel rods. "Because for some reason in the future space travel, we couldn't find a better energy source, and the fact that, how it worked with the engines wasn't addressed annoys me." After ejecting the rods, there is apparently no more left on the ship. Because backup is overrated, am i right?
Also only one reactor? I mean, a normal power plant as far as i know, has at least two or more reactors.
Why is no one out there assessing the damage? Surely a ship that size must have more than one engine, just look at big container ships, or big airplanes, every single one has more that one engine. And if a ship is stranded in the ocean, people can still get to it. So why is BIGGER safety precautions not being in place regarding space flight? And why aren't they contacting others for help???
Anyway, this Mima. Great idea, some sort of VR and augmented reality in one, loved it. But why, just why would you put feelings in to the equation of the AI, and why would an escape reality sim, have an AI in the first place? Seems kinda weird..
And then the rogue captain, seriously what a cliche.. This makes me feel so angry watching people in high positions making these absolute dumb decisions.. The fact that he refuses to listen to and under stand his co-workers, when they're a special engineer in the field. (I'm talking about 'Mimaroben'") And then have the guts to be this bad ass in the gym and act all mighty is just so ridiculous, what kind of captain with this mentality would even get close to a job like this? And then lying to the entire ship about the situation- Just why... Who would do that? You didn't have to say the exact state of the problem, but could say something like, "yes we have a problem, and we are assessing the damage, we will return with further information" Its like none and the captain too, didn't have any training in a situation like this, and also none in crowd control under distress situations.. Again, what the F.. This is really where the plot has holes and or doesn't connect.
They can spot a probe very far away, but not a piece of junk flying towards them, before its to late? Really? all this high tech...
The gabbling operators, why are they new? Where is the crew? Why is there no one in the crew who can and are already trained?
Where is all the alcohol coming from, and why do they have more liqueur than fuel?
What provides this much power when the reactor is down? And why is this power not directed towards the engines, assuming they run on power? Also, why waste power on parties and such.
Now whats with the people and the way they act. I don't even know what to say about it, its so far from reality as it could be.. No one in a almost plane crash, is gonna tell the captain during hes speech, 'I told my son i was gonna be there for hes 4th birthday' As if she didn't understand the seriousness of the situation...
Also look at festivals, and how many people are attending contrary to how few guards there is, this proves that crowd control can be done correctly, with the right education. Or riots.
It was fine overall, i try to see everything from different perspectives, but there was so many things that annoyed me about the plot. There is not many movies like this here in Scandinavia, so it saddens me that the plot feel so rushed, and if no one actually thought about the must simple and common things. It wasn't ready and the people who wrote it, should have had some help from someone professional who could guide them in the right direction of common sense, even in a fantasy-fiction space movie. Hell, the first doom movie has a better and more solid plot..
So to me the plot is holding the movie back for me. Not the effects or the acting. It would all have been better under a more "controlled" Script..
And there for it only get a 4 from me..
I apologize for the long review, but i had to get this out. I Really hope we here in Scandinavia can make more movies of this sort, and be on the level with the bigger studios.
