Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Jack Vasen There is almost no plot after a scout ship crashes on unknown planet, unless you count Kate traveling 60 kilometers over semi-mountainous terrain to rescue her injured captain and then a score more to find the crash site so she can send a distress beacon.There is very little dialogue for at least half the movie, which is good because Danielle Chuchran delivers it poorly in quick but flat lines.One thing is for certain. Kate, who has lived all her two-score years of life on a space ship is in physical shape that boggles the mind. She runs and climbs and runs and climbs. In crashing, Kate falls out of the scout ship and plummets apparently miles but opens a tiny chute about 50 feet above the water and survives. Then she gets knocked out and captured, but her captor is gone when she wakes up so she escapes. He or another of the natives (all wearing masks) traps her again, but she escapes again by simply climbing away. Chased by a half-dozen or more natives who are almost on top of her, somehow she is magically away from them and "safe". Three monsters corner her with three arrows left so she climbs a sheer cliff, then shoots at least twice that many arrows to kill them all.More running, more impossible fighting. The monsters have 4 inch claws but never use them and outweigh Kate 2-1 but she defeats several of them in hand to hand several times.Finally some plot and dialogue with about 20 minutes left in this 1-1/2 hour film. And the plot is not that great.In this part of the movie, natives remove their clumsy masks which appeared to be for breathing, but apparently they don't need them.Chuchran has a pretty enough face, if you enjoy looking at a dirty girl with unkempt hair. But she is not enough to carry this movie with its ridiculous fights and lame plot. Wait til you see the ending.

Travis Let me start with I enjoyed this film. Will I watch it again probably not, but not because it was bad just because there was nothing that really made it stand out.The acting was good in this film, I particularly enjoyed the lead actress who had most of the screen time. I didn't have any issues with the special effects, they weren't great but they were passable. The plot had a few holes in it but nothing that couldn't be overlooked. The biggest issue with the movie was that there wasn't an original thought to the movie. The movie was 1/3 H.G. Wells "The Time Machine", 1/3 "The Descent", and 1/3 "After Earth". My takeaway from this would be that if you are looking for something fun to watch to pass the time this movie will be good for that. If you are looking for a movie that you just can't miss, than this movie will not fit that requirement.

suite92 The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: Earth has been made unlivable. Seven colony ships left Earth, each looking for a new planet on which to live. The film starts in one of those ships, and it has long since lost contact with the others. Further, after 47 years, the original crew is gone except for Captain Hunter. Half a dozen teens spend much of their time training in combat.Kate finds a wormhole to a possibly feasible planet. The captain gets convinced. So the ship heads through, only to encounter disaster in a space born rock field. The captain and some of the teens survive the crash of their space ship.Delineation of conflicts: The humans are not alone on their new planet. There are some humanoids with blades and guns, but also some bipedal monsters. The monsters like to kill members of the other groups. The humanoids bicker among themselves, and decide, on the whole, not to like the newcomers.The Captain gets seriously wounded early on, and holes up with his radio. The teens except Kate get killed or captured soon after planet fall. So, most of the film is Kate against the world and its natives.One of the dissenters among the humanoids, Rogan, might lend her a hand, but her finely honed battle training does not seem to recognize that. He rescues her three times, she tries to kill him four times.Resolution: There are not all that many directions for this elimination derby can go. In any case, rest assured that Kate gets to run a lot.

mcguin71 I like Kevin Sorbo, he plays the low key hero well. Its just unfortunate he does as many poor roles as he does good ones and I feel he is well under used here instead relying on pretty faces, glossy shots, odd music, dodgy background story, nonsense ongoing story....The story is a pretty basic SciFi stable - mankind messes up the planet, searches for a new one, finds more than they bargained for. Nothing wrong with that except the way they messed it up was pretty non-sensical even in a budget SciFi flic - adjusting Earth's orbit via particle accelerators and creating wormholes throughout the galaxies!!?!?!Err...no on many levels!...and explained in the blink of an eye before falling in to the trap of 'pretty people, ridiculous personal dramas, overly glossy shots...etc' rather than concentrating on quality of the script and screenplay to make up for the lack of £€¥$¢One of only 7 ships, long since lost alone in space, tracks a signal and sends a dropship into a wormhole, where of course disaster strikes and the ship is lost leaving the few survivors (oddly all young, bright tweens, plus for some reason the main ships captain!) stranded on the alien world.Cue hostile humans and monstrous humanoids (and a Horse!!!), all of which appear without any questions from the protagonists...and the humans speak perfect English despite initially having their own language! (I'm surprised it took so long for the survivors to work out the twist - ps Its Earth!)The film then turns in to a montage of scenes in which Danielle Chuchran learns to ride said horse, shows off her athletic and rock-climbing, fights off alien hoards, wins the lottery saves the planet, resets time...err...I think I fell asleep at some point...all thanks to her amazing wrist implant that can perform any task she asks of it (scanning bodies, remote firing ship beacons, atmospheric testing...)Finally things start to move and then it just goes from 'uh?' to 'duh!'And on to the nasty creatures which would have looked at home in the Lord of the Rings. Unfortunately they seems to fit more in to the 'good idea at the time' category than having any real impact. And in any case if this is simply meant to be a 'future earth' then their presence just doesn't make sense in the time scale between ship launch and crash.The movie was at best 'watchable' and filled a few minutes of my life. Unfortunately it was at times rather painful, and at others rather boring thanks to the poor script and storyline,and not least the ending which screamed 'pilot for a series' as there was no real conclusion merely a sort-of-final battle followed by the arrival of the mother ship. .... If it hadn't been for an evening of boring TV I may not have made it to the end (tbh I may not even have gotten through the opening credits with the ridiculous 'earth is doomed' history)There are better films out there on similar themes.3/10
