5th Passenger

The fanboi/shill reviews, or the poor acting.

I am unsure who figured these people, who acted in the past together, could still act ...together and succeed. The show is a modern B. Not that a B movie is bad.

The acting was rigid, forced and, at times, off key. The CGI was bad when ever the color red or orange was needed it seems ;)

If you are a Star Trek cast fan, there will be no deterring you from seeing this. If you are a sucker for IMDB ratings, do not be fooled, this rating is falsly inflated. The movie rating will balance out in the 4.2-5.0 range

If I could give it a -10, I'd complain I couldn't give it a -11.

Unbelievable bad script and acting (as in none). Homeworld 1 had better graphics, heck, I'm pretty sure Half Life 1 will hold up to this. It may have the tag "sci-fi", but I'm voting for IMDB to add a "sci-cry" tag, though Half Life 3 may be released sooner then that happening...

Edit; Atleast the keyboard warriors are telling the truth, the movie really sucks.

I love sci fi, especially "real ones" that are on space ships.

So I had to see this. There are a lot of known faces and decent actors in this movie, and a few really bad ones. Generic yelling black guy # 1 was very bad but most did a fine job.

The story wasn't bad but the script could have used some work. Okay it could have used a lot of work. Movie fights take a lot of work to be good, this only had one and they didn't put in a lot of work but it didn't ruin it.

What ruined it was certain characters who took decisions based on what mood the writers were in that day. We've all seen horror movies where they split up for no apparent reason, keep walking backwards or if they trip, they keep crawling until the bad guy gets them. This movie didn't have that but it did have some decisions based on the roll of dice it seemed. I really don't like that, especially in a space ship where you HAVE to assume every single person on that ship, with a vital role for the mission to be a success, has a certain amount of education, a certain amount of traning and certainly an IQ of above average. Script writers tend to forget that. In the real world, in a crisis, 80% of people don't actually panic and lose their head but for some reason well trained people on a space ship always seem to stick their own heads up their asses when stuff goes down. This movie could have been REALLY good with not too many changes.

I don't know why there were good reviews/ratings for this movie. A total waste of time. Sorry to be harsh, but it is what it is. Bad sfx, cgi, storyline and poor acting. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.

I had the opportunity to see this film on the big screen. I think what we have to remember is that the effects are astonishing. The viewer will question if they are watching the set or a green screen shot, its that clean. The story is a culmination and mix of ideas cleverly weaved together with an ending that will not leave you disappointed. Some highlights were seeing Doug Jones not in makeup or costume, and Tim Russ as a bad guy to root for. I think the negative reviewers need to consider the budget and quality you are getting. You don't buy a Honda and expect it to drive like a Ferrari. Just like I wouldn't expect this movie to have the same draw as a Star Wars. Knowing this I really enjoyed it for the entertainment value and underlying relevant hints at current events. Well done.
