Gemini: O Planeta Sombrio

The directing was bad - especially directing the cast, who were cringeworthily bad to begin with. That one guy faking a deep voice to sound tough was a joke. But the writing was even worse. There was so much ridiculous and phony dialogue in between a whole bunch of filler with very little substance, that the 98 min runtime felt neverending, especially in the first half. The last half had a little suspense and thrills, and some nice twists and a partially cohesive story coming together, albeit generic and cliched. But what was impressive and the reason for my high score of 5, was the excellent cinematography and stunning visual effects. This film may have been more appreciated as a short, with all the filler and nonsense dialogue edited/cut out. Nevertheless, it's a 5/10 from me.

I cant rate it because we don't have the entire film available to us here in Australia. What we have is an abominable English language overdubbed version. The dialogue sounds TERRIBLE. It feels like a bunch of simple-minded robots exchanging flat dialogue with pretty much zero or faked emotional nance. Stiff, bland, boring dialogue.

Who knows what the real film feels like? It might be poetic in Russian.

Gone with the deleted original dialogue are all of those smaller sounds that are captured by the microphone on set. As a result the sound design is now lacking.

CGI is good, as is the score. Again, because of the overdubbed version, it's hard to determine even if the casting is good. It looks like it's not, but to be fair we are not hearing any dialogue from the actors we see. Amazon Prime, you cheap numbskulls, let us have the original language option.

I am a great fan of space horror movies so I tried Project Gemini. The pro: the production is okay, nothing special but okay. The cons: a script that follows every possible cliche of the genre, also the acting, I am tender here, is improvable, and the story misses momentum and a feel for pace: before anything interesting happens we get all that necessary blabla and introduction that made me almost doze off into Morpheus arms. Anyway, compared to the benchmarks of the genre (Alien, Event Horizon, Pandorum) Project Gemini tastes just very weak. I would even prefer to watch Life (2017) again, which in my view is a very mediocre movie because it lacks of the same issues: a story too predictable and every cliche of the genre squeezed in, but at least the techs and acting are fine ones.

From the outset this film will tell you how poorly written it is. From characters that are far too stupid to be operating a mission of this magnitude to the standard space exploration film events. The cgi is good. Bit that's about all this one has to offer.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. And no, not so bad that it is already good and worth seeing how bad it is. Don't. Just don't.

I don't know who created this, but my guess is someone with money saw "Alien" and thought: "I also make good space movie..haha!"

I mean...where do you find a whole cast of actors who have never seen human emotions before? _Any_ emotion.

There are no words to describe the dialogue adequately. Imagine a verbal vomit of cliché after cliché after cliché.

At first we laughed at how unbelievably awful it was but that wore off and we were barely able to survive the whole experience.
