Featured review
An uneven, slightly funny, sci-fi flick that could've been so much more...
The opening of this film seemed very promising, I was hoping maybe something along the lines of Wes Anderson in space, but got a film filled with mostly unlikeable/uninteresting characters put in predictable situations. Don't get me wrong there is some good in this film, the cast is top notch even though they're not given much of a story to work with. The set pieces and costumes are also great, but other than that I can't really say this film has much else going for it. There are some comedic moments, but far too few to list.
When I first saw the poster and cast I was very intrigued and wasn't sure how a film with such an interesting premise and great cast could have such a poor score, but after watching it I completely understand.
The main issue with this film is that its entirely uneven, I understand that its supposed to be a comedy/drama, but the "comedy" is often lacking and off-putting. I would've preferred something more subtle than the raunchy moments we often received instead. The dramatic aspect is not much better but isn't really apparent until the final scenes when all of the characters become exposed. It just felt like I was watching an amalgamation of a soap opera and a sitcom, rather than a carefully intertwined dramedy/space-opera.
Again, this film could've been so much more, but it is what it is. Perhaps someone will view this and realize there is a much better film to be made here and a talented writer/director will take the reigns (I'm looking at you Wes Anderson, Joss Whedon, Michel Gondry, Charlie Kaufman, George Clooney, Paul Feig, Judd Apatow.. to name a few).
