"Actor Fails To Overcomes Emploding Script"

Great acting. Visually strong. Goddamned one of the worst, most cliche'd writings in cinema.

Great idea, poorly told story

I would have enjoyed this a lot more if it was not for the pilot being a bag of nerves, always panicking, losing his cool and nothing at all like someone who had an outstanding career in the air force and been selected to be the first pilot of the British space programme. It was just ridiculous, and because of this I never felt anything for him because he just annoyed me so much.

Fortunately I forced myself to put up with up with all that and eventually the story started to improve in the last 40 minutes. I liked the ending and there are twists in the ending which were unexpected.

It's worth a watch but try and put up with the slow burning start and the awful unrealistic reactions of the pilot and you'll see an enjoyable story unravel - eventually.

91 Minutes of Snivelling

Bowie's Major Tom whining "Here I am, sitting in a tin can" is more realistic.

Any test pilot/early astronaut would be earnestly working with mission control to remedy his crisis. Instead, here we have a constant coward, sniveling, "Just get me down!" and banging on his "dashboard."

Have the writers seen The Right Stuff or Apollo 13?

Shameful.

terrible story telling

this movie will give you mixed emotions. the actor is good, he acts as he's told to act. not his fault that he is told to play an idiot. can you believe that a man is trained 5 (yes, five) years to ride a tiny space ship, with not as many electronics, switches, gadgets and screens as in today's space crafts, and yet has no idea how to replace a fuse, or that is not a spare fuse in a craft where there are only 4 fuses?! a well trained astronaut that for years was a fighter pilot in experimental American spy planes and panics from every sound on his transmitter? music is not bad, adds to the plot. 5 minutes of excellent photography near the end of the film. they account for 3 of my 4 points. worth watching if you are ready to be disappointed and not - at the same time.

Intense, emotional British Sci-Fi Thriller

I had the opportunity to attend a screening of Capsule on Saturday night with my wife at the World of Film Festival in Glasgow. The event was hosted in an original vaudeville theatre which added to the unique experience

We both agreed that Capsule delivers an intense experience and one we both enjoyed. The story is strong (no spoilers), the production superb and the performance by Ed Kingsley I found to be mesmerising. Kingsley's performance drew us into the story which played out across his face which dominates the screen.

Definitely a film worth catching.

Trivia
The astronaut 'Guy Taylor" is suffering from severe Hypoxia (Oxygen starvation). Three of the main symptoms of this are confusion, disorientation and acute behavioral change. Brain function can become impaired making it difficult to pay attention, making irrational decisions with poor judgment. After consultation the production team decided to go with these traits of the illness for the character from the moment he wakes up after blacking out. Taking him out of the environment he would normally have complete control of during his test pilot days and throwing him into an environment with little to no oxygen and see his character change from the consummate professional to someone barely holding it together on to the edge of his life.

Hypoxia can also cause severe headaches and hallucinations, seeing and believing things are real that aren't there.

Errores
The Johnson Space Center (aka Houston Control) was opened for business in late 1963, nearly 5 years after the setting of the film. The control centers at Cape Canaveral, Florida or Langley, Virginia would have been the US contact points for any craft that was orbiting the Earth prior to 1963, as "Houston" did not exist.
