Solitary

Good movie!

Just a really poor film. It goes nowhere and does nothing with wooden acting and weak dialogue

I found it a thought provoking and cerebral commentary on social justice and societal acceptance of unusual methods of incarceration, as well as the in-depth thought process of those incarcerated. Add a (slight) mystery of how they got to where they are, and this movie was well worth watching. The acting was adequate by the main characters. For those who haven't the depth of mind to grasp subtlety and introspection, while encompassed in a sci-fi back drop, I suppose it would be "boring"

The visuals are the particularly outstanding part of this film, especially given it's a low budget film and completed during lockdown. It's a really interesting story idea and something I feel seems a genuine idea of something for our future, with some twists in the story as well. Solid leads playing against a beautiful galactic backdrop, and an outstanding score which really adds to the atmosphere.

After quarrels with the US over Suez, Britain played no manned role in the Space Race, making the first Briton in Space a female Cosmonaut. So, no coffee-capsule George Clooney and Sandra Bullock - but two unknown British actors, playing 2040's Space Convicts in their own scaled-down version of Gravity. Accepting the narrowed parameters, including the "need" for females with no physique to demonstrate exceptional strength (Oh no - not again!) this flick was not too bad. It fostered, suspense, concern about the fate of the 2 crew and disgust at the double-dealing of those back on Earth. Were it a school production it'd merit applause.

As others have stated, aside from the visual effects, this movie is total crap, so, the rating I gave it is very generous. What's 'is name is barely adequate as the confused dork, but the female lead wasn't believable as a woman in the slightest because she can't act and she's typical Brit chick fug. Unfortunate. Just keep looking for something good to watch on movie night because you ain't gonna find it here. This gobbledygook will only anger your significant other and provide them with the grounds to begin divorce proceedings they've been looking for.

I watched it to the end with interest. There have been many others I have turned off after 3 mins. Main actors were pretty good, some of the voice acting sounded like 'the guy that calls you with information' on a video game. Good effects, some of the plot twists were predictable.

British filmmaker Luke Armstrong is a visual effects pro, and it shows in this film. This is his first full length feature film, with about 12 short films as director and writer, his last being a short film with the same name. I haven't seen it, but he should've stopped there, and left this story as a short. The 89 min runtime felt like +3 hours with the snail pacing and long dragged out and some unnecessary scenes. There were tons of plot and technical issues, and the dialogue was atrocious. I get this was a low budget b-grade film, and considering the small cheap sets, it showed really well. But more effort was needed in the dialogue department in the writing and the voices. What was the point of the "main switchboard" lady? She may as well have said "please hold" - at least that would've been funny. And the voice and dialogue from the "we're working on it" intercom dude was ridiculously infantile. I mean, it wouldn't have taken much effort to make him sound and talk more authentic. Then we have the bad acting of the two leads. Although not amateurs, they were terrible and unconvincing. I'm sure for the most part it was the fault of the director failing to direct his cast properly. And having Alana easily subdue Issac, a military soldier, was a joke - even more so when everything was "back to normal ok" after doing so. The only other redeeming quality was the score, that was decent and fitting, especially for a b-grade film. That, plus the visuals, is why I'm giving this so-called sci-fi-in-a-box my generous 5/10.

It's boring but seems to be setting up some limitations of being on the craft as being the big payoff. And when this seems to be coming the film ends. A complete waste of time. You only get 10 calls - this could have been used brilliantly, what a waste.

Thought it was alright, cool vfx. Some pretty impressive shots in there
