Invasion sur la Lune

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.

Stranded is a movie. I'll give you that. A good one? Far from it. A medium one? Still not quit there. A C+ at its best because really, what the heck was the point of it? 4 people in space, with uber technology (except, the cars are still normal and other stuff that they couldn't "upgrade") with no power for light (the entire movie), with a dialogue that will make you weep at times, and with those very quite intelligent "hey, it really happened!!"; "Neah, it must be all in your head. Even tho what you say makes perfect sense regarding the surroundings, we can't believe you because the script doesn't allow us to".

So you have to watch something perfectly predictable, non captivating whatsoever, not original, not even trying to be something. What is the point? Why make a movie like this? It won't help anyone's career let's face it, and most of you out there, the lucky ones, won't get to see it, won't even ever find out it exists. Lucky bastards...

In 1986, the movie Aliens appears, a future like none would ever imagine, effects made brilliantly that still stand tall after almost 30 years! In 2013 they make Stranded, and you can't help to wonder, how is this even possible? Any of it?

Don't watch Stranded, you'll just waste time that you'll want back. So many other films out there.

Try Cargo, a German movie. Try Pandorum. Try Fortress. Just try something else!

Cheers!

It's a movie

Someone said it's maybe a C-movie. I'd call it trash, and this just shows how low Christian Slater has fallen. He is no longer considered a top actor. He used to be OK, but now he only plays in crap series or crap movies. This must be really hard for him, since he got a famous name and a good reputation. Too bad this is the worst movie he ever starred in. I wanted to kick my TV. I wish he could get a proper role. This movie is the worst attempt of a ripoff of Alien vs Species. Species and Aliens were good, but not together. Besides this, the casting crew had to be paid off to give these people roles. The actors he plays with are pure garbage. Did they win lottery and bribe their way into this movie? And not only that. The props are just awful. Nuff said.

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.
