El Titán

*Spoiler alert*

Actually, there isn't really much to spoil. This egg that netflix has lain, was spoiled from the get go. Derivative to the point of provoking fast forward, and this is coming from a long time sci-fi buff that's seen it all; Even I was bored enough to wish I was watching the other Titan. You remember....Titan AE, the cartoon? The casting of the action veteran, Sam Worthington, though not a bad choice for nearly any other movie, provided more of a distraction here, than attraction, given the voluminous invitations for comparison to his role in Avatar.

Speaking of comparison, and there are many valid ones that one may make, I found the episode: "Afterlife", from the Outer Limits Series, in which an ex soldier is given the choice of execution, or participating in an Alien DNA mutation experiment, to be more inspired and engaging.

There just isn't much here, and what there is, simply mashes all the wrong buttons. Including the 'eject' button. On a scale of 1 to...would you rather see it again, or go wingsuiting without a wingsuit....

I give it a solid 4 out of 10.

SPOILER: 90% preparation 10% action Still can't understand what a single "Titan" could do alone on the planet. Hope there is no sequel to see more going trough the process. As long as everyone gets different results, how could this plan be a viable salvation option...

It's 6 stars at a wee bit of a stretch, but, that stretch isn't too far. It's much better than the current IMDB rating.

Interesting premise. Obviously doesn't have a massive budget but did well anyway on what it had.

Some good acting and some good actors. It's not a great film, but it's definitely not a stinker. It's a good lazy afternoon watch.

There's not much more to say. Now I'm just filling up characters. I went for a walk this morning. Some 9/10 miles. Had a chicken roast dinner for tea & a slice of homemade Victoria jam sponge for afters.

Got a new telly coming tomorrow, but I fear it may be too big so need to ring first thing and cancel the order/delivery.

Not sure why this is getting a '1' from some reviewers... It can't be as god-awful as some films that truly deserve a very poor rating. Sure, it's no Godfather, but it has some merit. I'm thinking the worst '1' reviews may be from 15 year-olds expecting perhaps a lot of action (which this does not), or a lot of Sci-Fi CGI effects (some, but not a lot..).

At best, it's a reasonably entertaining view on what it would be like if we had to make plans to eventually leave the planet. There's some nice, slick futuristic settings as well. At worst, there's little 'action' or 'space action' and the like, as it all takes place on earth (mostly). This is high praise from me, as I love a good 'space' & 'space travel' Sci-Fi flick!

It definitely doesn't deserve a '1' (or a '3' or '4' for that matter) in my opinion. They make a decent effort at plot - though to be sure, there are a few spots where you have to suspend disbelief... The sets look authentic and look realistic & have a great look & good production value.

It's no 'Gataca' or 'Blade Runner' by any stretch, but it was reasonably entertaining & held my interest enough to watch it through.

I was so intrigued to watch this movie, the trailer I saw made the film look awesome. The first twenty minutes or so I really enjoyed. I got into it immediately, the acting was really rather good, the story very interesting, but something seems to change, it's almost as if they switched directors or writers, as the film just turns into a real mess, it was hard to follow, almost every character was hard to like, and you find yourself asking 'what's the point.'

I'll applaud the acting, and special effects, the latter in particular were great, but overall there was just something about it that I didn't like, if I'm honest I was bored.

What was he going to do on his own on that planet?

Mehhh. 4/10
