Bad movie

Bad movie, bad acting and it's sci-fi at it's worst. The astronaut acting is not convincing at all, very amateur and unprofessional.

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.

Great story but poorly executed.

This film is an excellent example of a great idea very poorly executed. The story is actually good but the actual story-telling is poor. First off the Brit in the capsule, Guy Taylor, was far from stoic or calm. The "former fighter pilot" was too emotional and lacked all the qualities you'd expect in someone picked to be "the first man in space". I don't know if this was due to bad directing, bad acting or both, but as Arnie would say, he was a "girlie-man". Secondly, the first half of the film is painfully slow and I found myself drifting away and losing interest. Despite all this I was pleasantly surprised by how it ended, but it was too late by then. If you want to see a fine example of a movie with just one actor well executed have a look at Tom Hardy in "Locke". In fact I think that Hardy would have made a much better Guy Taylor.

"Actor Fails To Overcomes Emploding Script"

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

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.

Anecdotes
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.

Gaffes
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.
