Passager clandestin

A tale of some characters, who were totally undeveloped so nobody cares about them, running around a darkened moon base so you can't see the lack of budget. And that's about it really. Lots of shouting and worrying about this and that, but you couldn't care less about any of it. Could go into detail but, you know what, I can't bring myself to waste more time on this. I have a general rule that I'll switch off after 10 minutes if it's this bad (life's too short), but I stupidly abandoned this because I couldn't believe it was so poor. It didn't get better, just more of the same running around shouting. All I can say is that I suffered this so you don't have to. Amazed that this movie had received 3.4 on IMDb.

There's a pointlessness to this film that ultimately leaves you wondering why you wasted an hour and a half.

It's not completely awful, it's just not very good and the main problem is the story, of which there isn't really any.

The directing didn't seem too bad to me and the acting isn't as terrible as some reviewers on here would have you believe, but it's utterly, hopelessly predictable and there was clearly no budget left for effects. They do their best with what they have, but it can't have been much.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned the external shots of the moonbase - it is so clearly, painfully a model landscape that all hopes of immersion are immediately lost. And what passes for a moonbase control room is reminiscent of an early episode of Blake's 7 (remember that?).

This isn't the worst film in the world, if you've a couple of hours you don't mind losing or you're a complete SF nut, then knock yourself out. Otherwise, move along now.

I am a filmmaker and try to be as objective as possible. Understanding that many films have limitations, I try to see beyond the finances and look for other qualities such as performance, story, direction, and execution.

Well, I looked for nearly an hour and found myself, after the first 3 minutes, wishing that a piece of the space shuttle would re-enter the atmosphere, crash through my roof, and hit me in the head.

The most exciting moment of this viewing experience was when I finally decided to hit the stop button on my DVD player. The folks that made this fiasco should seriously consider Truckmasters or barber college.

I am always on the lookout for a good SciFi horror film, so I really wanted to like this movie. I thought maybe with Slater it might be a low budget sleeper with good acting and plot. While the actors do try to get through their terribly written lines in a convincing manner, the movie is really bad. I had a sick feeling when Slater started talking into a folding book-light from the dollar store, that maybe this movie was in trouble. Nothing about the plot makes any sense, and nobody reacts in a manner even remotely realistic. Why wear a spacesuit if nobody else needs one in the same area? Why spend valuable time in the middle of a crisis playing with a rock? Why lock-down a room, just to reenter it ever other minute? The movie is a total waste of time. Don't rent this junk.

This looks like it was intended for an audience of grade six kids-who will forgive anything if they get to see a film-any film. Anyone other than a twelve year old probably won't like this movie much since it is basically a dull ride with predictable events happening one after the other. It seems that they are making films like this in batches-three movies in short succession about space bases just like three movies in succession about future civilizations divided into sects aka Divergent-The Giver & The Hunger Games. Stranded is a lot like The Last Days on Mars and Europa Report. Christian Slater has vanished from movies lately so here is a chance to see him do his stuff. His acting is fine but the script isn't very interesting. If you just have to see everything they do in the science fiction style see this-otherwise-like Frank Zappa said-'save your money and don't go to the show'-sometimes it just ain't worth gong to.
