The Osiris Child: Science Fiction Volume One

This film has solid performances, some very impressive aerial combat scenes and a nice father-daughter story. Yes, the plot is derivative, convoluted and cheesy but there's something to be said for teh safety of exploring these themes as foundational background for a low budget, first run effort. I admit I did fast forward through parts of it, but that's what the FF button is for. If you're a fan of low budget sci-fi, it's definitely worth a look!

Super entertaining. I really liked the ending too. Not the BEST movie ever but if you're running out of Netflix - this is def a good one.

Not a great movie, it is however a good movie. It kept me interested all the way through. Graphics were pretty good and even interesting in certain areas. Slow to start then creates faster pace throughout. Granted the monsters weren't nearly as scary as they wanted them to be, they sort of fade into the background and the human story prevails. It is one of those movies that start from the end and work there way forward to the ending. It jumps around a bit to provide the why's and who's. Altogether a good action flick that is family centered.

Aussie B movie with all the goodies you'd expect from an Aussie B movie: weird and dangerous rednecks, violent dystopias in the desert, a plot with almost as many twists as holes, and a kid that out-acts the adults. Throw in some Doctor Who grade monsters and a dogfight scene lifted straight from Top Gun, you've got a very solid popcorn flick. Fun and well worth the five bucks.

This movie is not for everyone, it is an indie after all. However, it is entertaining and if anything reminded me of the first Mad Max...a series that only got better over time. Give it a try.

Terrible, awful, couldn’t be worse. Completely incomprehensible. Avoid.

Man... I did not know rotten tomato score 63% was this bad... I lost my sleep.

Kind of boring for some reason and very much a different style of story telling, like a book or narrated story in someways. Was definitely a first movie in some sort of series, acting was good just lacked something?

It must be first said that despite that this wasn’t a film with Hollywood blockbuster resources, they create something here that often rivals the technical and visual work of anything you’ll see in a Hollywood blockbuster film. There’s good and and bad, but the good is very good and the bad are the kind of problems that don’t ruin the whole experience. While the leads are all good (including Kellan Lutz of Expendables 3 and the Twilight franchise, Temuera Morrison best known as Jango Fett and the Clones from the Star Wars prequels here in a scenery chewing role as a sadistic warden, and cameo by acclaimed actress Rachel Griffiths), but many of the smaller roles are filled by over the top and/or over emoting performers. The story is often nonlinear and the jumps in time and radical changes in environment (we get starship dogfights, a nightmarish prison, views of a futuristic earth and even a sky metropolis) and narrative (prison break film, practical effect monster movie, desperate rescue tale, morality play) that it helps to keep things moving and keeps from the shortcomings less glaring. Its a fairly humorless film and sometimes outright pretentious which lands unevenly with some of the oddball performances but it’s still an impressive production. It may be polarizing for less patient viewers but others will appreciate the poetic end, the committed performances from leads and the visual expertise. An above average sci fi B flick that’s both derivative and original.

If you like doomed futuristic movies with black and gray scenery go for it. Simply, okay for 99 cents rental.
