Life in Space

Ilsa (Sofia Boutella), Reza (Jonny Lee Miller), and their daughter Remmy (Brooklynn Prince) are living in a remote settlement by themselves. They are attacked by a group led by Jerry (Ismael Cruz Córdova).

The movie doesn't do a lot of expositions or clarity. It doesn't do flashy things. It's lowkey serious tone and the deliberately stripped down story telling leave the movie feeling a bit empty. There are lots of missed opportunity. It hints at a dangerous world outside. It would have been great to have the characters run around in it.

My review.

Yes at the beginning it is boring with some average boring family drama.

It starts with the little girl being told that the planet she saw was Earth.

Then it picks up later. And suspense are added, making you want to know more.

A few plot twists here and there. Protip: don't watch the trailer.

The breathable air is explained halfway.

As to the gravity? I cannot explain that to you.

Makes me wonder if it's a prequel to the Star Wars: A New Hope.

I agree with the rating of 6.4.

Worth watching if you are not too easily bored. Patience has it's merits.

Got problem with gravity? You can take it up to those who made "The Martian".

This is a story that could take place on Earth - when for any reason you decide to write a scenario for a story om Mars, you MUST take into consideration AT LEAST basic facts about Mars, otherwise DO NOT PUT YOUR STORY ON MARS. If you do not have enough BUDGET to shoot a Mars-based film, DO NOT DO IT, PUT IT AN AN IMAGINARY PLANET... Subsequently it does not matter whether the storyline or the actors are decent, the whole film becomes just 'unacceptable', it is as simple as that...

I've heard lots of bad reviews, it was r the worst movie. Pretty interesting given the plot, what would you do if you were there only people left on the planet?!

The WORST MOVIE IS POWER OF THE DOG.

Like what the headline title said, Settlers is a lame, underwhelming, and overall pretty disappointing Sci-fi flick due to a derivative predictable plot, mediocre performances, really slow clunky pacing that drags on way too long, a nothing score, weak direction, and overall poor execution. The few redeeming qualities this movie has going for include good cinematography, surprisingly solid production values, and despite the poor execution the movie's premise seems interesting.

Movie started off fine, but around 25-30 minutes in it got real stale fast. Not recommended.
