Liked it more than I thought I would. Harrison Ford makes the most of a woody script. I could watch that man eat breakfast cereal and have a good time.
This started to tip the scales toward more of a "comic booky" movie and slightly away from a "piece of content" in the Disney content mill.
The script could have done with one more draft. It feels like there were maybe one or two threads they could have cut.
Mostly,…
Solid first act. Really great performances. I liked it. I am fairly convinced they didn't ultimately know what they were trying to say.
It feels like the writers and the marketing team both want this to be a lot more of a Saw film then it had the time or the space to be.
Not as tight as Prometheus, and the creature VFX look worse I think.
But Michael Fassbender still rocks as David. I could happily watch a couple more movies of him doing weird nefarious stuff in space.
A brilliantly funny premise executed perfectly. It earns the runtime.
There's a moment of absurd delight in the third act that surprised me but immediately felt right.
