Manthast Absolutely amazing

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

roach5409 This movie would have been a great movie if it weren't for the worst monsters ever. The monsters were human test subjects that looked like the turned into super snapping turtles. The back and forth chapters were interesting because it gave you more knowledge into Sy's story, and it showed why he was there on Osiris. The main reason this movie gets a 5 instead of an 8 or 9 is because of the "plot twist" at the end. Sy gets attacked by the monster and starts to transform into one, but he ask Indi to give him something sharp to kill himself. She doesn't do it, and it cuts to another backstory in Sy's life. This was my favorite part because it showed why he was in prison, and that he was good loving man who lost his family but made a very wrong decision. Then the bad part happens. After the planet had been wiped clean, two explorers search the planet to find indi and creature that turns out to be Sy... really? Sy turned into one of the crazy monster soccer who had been killing people the entire movie? But instead of being crazy, he is guard dog for Indi... should've let him die or survive. One or the other. I still hate how terrible the monsters were. Made the movie so much less interesting.

cdennis39 A rather uninspired Sci-Fi movie that reminds me of a low budget combo of Tom Cruise' Oblivion and Mad-Max with some Avatar thrown in for good measure. One thing I did catch was the famous or infamous Wilhelm Scream at about exactly halfway thu the movie where the prisoners are being released from solitary confinement and the one prisoner says to the others " They let the Devil Loose...:" then immediately after that it cut-scenes to a bad edit of a guard being thrown by one of these creatures. When he goes flying you'll hear the famous Wilhelm Scream at about 52:50.

The Couchpotatoes Rating this movie higher than a six is just nonsense. Okay they did a decent job considering the budget but it's not that good that you will remember it. At least I won't. The CGI are not bad and that's already something. The acting could definitely be better. There are just too much have-you-see-me characters that makes it sometimes boring. The story is just okay but really nothing you never saw before. I'm sure you saw much better movies with the same theme. I am a big sci-fi fan. It's one of my favorite genre of movies. But The Osiris Child won't make it in my top ten, not even my top twenty. But it's fine to watch once I guess.

cliometrician Yes, this was much better than I had expected. I figured, well, with a low budget the CGI won't be up to par, it'll probably depend on blood and gore, and with very little plot or character development. I was wrong on all counts. The best thing about it was the back-story for the characters--you got to know them, and some of them were certainly worth knowing. Flashbacks throughout the film slowly pieced together a mosaic of complex characters that you came to understand and care for.And o yeah, there are monsters, sort of like the "monsters of the id" of FORBIDDEN PLANET. It was a solid sci-fi story and the CGI was better than it had any right to be. I was really impressed.The acting was OK for everyone and outstanding by a couple of the characters. One strange thing is the somewhat confusing names of this movie. The version I saw was called ORIGIN WARS, though known here on IMDb as SCIENCE FICTION VOLUME ONE: THE OSIRIS CHILD. The child was the young daughter who was the object of rescue by her father and his comrades-by-necessity, before the planet they were on was to be made uninhabitable by the evil corporation.It was a solid effort that was worth my time.
