Xave-Ya

Such a shame -please read if you're on the production team I truly hate giving a poor review, but this movie feels as if it were made as some kind of school project. It was let down so dramatically by the shockingly poor special effects, staging and costumes. This started with the (even now outdated) iPhone being used for communication on the shuttle, the AI, which looked like a cross between a one-armed bandit and a coffee machine with weird voices and even weirder accents, the whole space station looks like someone's badly made home extension, random bits of badly painted mdf stuck to stuff, a ceramic bathroom sink and wait for it... skirting boards everywhere... on a space station!?! The space suit consisted very obviously of an old crap crash helmet and ski gloves, donned over a set of overalls, I could go on but it's not great karma.

The script wasn't very high standard and the delivery in places wasn't particularly natural. It's a real shame, as this movie had some potential, but the failings were simply too many and too distracting to allow me to enjoy it. I did like the lead actress, despite what she was working with, she did a pretty good job. Also the dead body in the vent gets a thumbs up too.

Reasonable plot in an interesting setting with an unfinished and disappointing ending which was really weird and felt like it finished in the middle of the story.

• There were a few times when I actually exclaimed "how the hell did..." in pure disbelief, which I imagine I'm not alone in doing too.
• Also I could have done without the very loud, overbearing sea shanties throughout.

A great movie a gentle run up to an immense feel good middle and end. Would have liked to have seen a sequel to this. Both Keira and Mark excelled themselves with a great supporting cast and pretty decent soundtrack too.

A nice change to all the guns and bullets.
