3022

I for one am getting sick and tired of movies being produced that you are missing half of what's going on because you can't see. I made it about 3/4 of the way through this but I was so annoyed by the darkness that I gave up.

This isn't a bad film, but viewers shouldn't go into it expecting action. I thought it was an interesting look at how people might respond to tragedy and being isolated for long periods.

All I knew about "3022" when I sat down to watch it was that it was a sci-fi movie of sorts. I had no idea what the story was about, nor whom was in it. Normally, I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, but was given the chance to watch it, so I did.

First I have to say that "3022" is not an overly interesting movie. In fact, it was sort of boring and very uneventful. More than once was I tempted to get up and go watch something else. But I endured and stuck with it to the end - to the boring, unsatisfactory end.

For a sci-fi movie then this 2019 movie from writer Ryan Binaco and director John Suits was mundane, generic and downright boring. There was simply way too little of any interest going on to keep the movie going and keep it interesting.

I will say, though, that the acting performances were good, despite of the actors and actresses having very little to work with. Most memorable in the movie was Angus Macfadyen, without a doubt, given his strong performance.

The movie is dark, a bit too dark if you ask me. It makes no sense that there was so little illumination about a space station. Sure, it sets the mood for a thriller or a horror movie, but it makes absolutely no common sense whatsoever.

I endured "3022" to the end, and can honestly say that this is not a movie that I will be returning to watch a second time. My rating of the movie lands of a less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

A whole lot of nothing over something. 91 minutes a soap opera drama that should have been a 20 min short film. Acting was decent, especially Epps, and directing ok, but this is amateur writer Ryan Binaco's first screenplay, and it was atrocious. All over the place, convoluted, extended and unnecessary scenes... a 5th grader could've written it better. I get filmmakers have to start somewhere, but at least have a seasoned writer have a look at it and make the many edits it needed. Great story concept, poor screenplay execution. Sadly, it's only a 3/10 from me.

(Flash Review)

Five years into a ten year mission four people are stationed at a space station named Pangea and dealing with the mental effects the distant isolation. When something unexpectedly terrible happens to Earth, will that destabilize their already fragile mental states or will they rally together to make it to an outpost planet named Europa? This had an appropriately gloomy and dank atmosphere to echo their mental condition; perhaps a bit much for a critical space station? Why is the space station so grimy, dark and grungy? Why are the characters chain smoking? Please don't fall into the Prometheus zone with idiotic characters! Ha! There are a few intriguing events that occur, perhaps not enough even to sustain the 90 minute run-time but the longer this film went the more interest I lost as the story intrigue gets a bit more amateurish. It did a nice job hiding it's small budget. It's worth a viewing.
