What is he going to do all by himself on a remote planet ? He can't even reproduce because there is no Female ? And what will he eat ??? I am worried about him/ it.
It started off very well, but the end......nooooo.

It's 6 stars at a wee bit of a stretch, but, that stretch isn't too far. It's much better than the current IMDB rating.
Interesting premise. Obviously doesn't have a massive budget but did well anyway on what it had.
Some good acting and some good actors. It's not a great film, but it's definitely not a stinker. It's a good lazy afternoon watch.
There's not much more to say. Now I'm just filling up characters. I went for a walk this morning. Some 9/10 miles. Had a chicken roast dinner for tea & a slice of homemade Victoria jam sponge for afters.
Got a new telly coming tomorrow, but I fear it may be too big so need to ring first thing and cancel the order/delivery.

In the near future, the world is overcrowded and its resources are dwindling. A project headed by Professor Martin Collingwood (Tom Wilkinson) proposes to populate the Saturn moon Titan with genetically altered humans. Lieutenant Rick Janssen (Sam Worthington) has brought his wife Abigail (Taylor Schilling) and son Lucas. As the volunteers get altered, some are dying while others are showing volatile signs.
Nothing happens for too long in this movie. Nothing ever happens behind Worthington's dead eyes. This could be a body horror but it does not do that. It really doesn't do much. I'm not a Worthington fan but I thought maybe Manhunt: Unabomber had given him new acting life. Sadly, this movie asks nothing of him and he gives them nothing. After his transformation, his alien face turns blank which is just as well. The emotional climax has no emotional content for him. This is a blank.

I was so intrigued to watch this movie, the trailer I saw made the film look awesome. The first twenty minutes or so I really enjoyed. I got into it immediately, the acting was really rather good, the story very interesting, but something seems to change, it's almost as if they switched directors or writers, as the film just turns into a real mess, it was hard to follow, almost every character was hard to like, and you find yourself asking 'what's the point.'
I'll applaud the acting, and special effects, the latter in particular were great, but overall there was just something about it that I didn't like, if I'm honest I was bored.
What was he going to do on his own on that planet?
Mehhh. 4/10

- TriviaThe Spanish Army took part in the film with 100 soldiers and 20 vehicles. It's the first participation of the Spanish Army in an international film.
- GoofsAfter the first pool scene, Lt. Rick Janssen reads to his son "nitrogen which can be used to produce breathable oxygen". Nitrogen being a "pure" element (ie not a compound) and so being oxygen, it is not possible to "produce" oxygen with nitrogen.

Prof. Martin Collingwood: No one attempts the impossible without belief in something greater than themselves. Even if that something is a someone.
