Dan Jackson Thrillist 06/28/2018
These stories skimp on breathless adventure and cosmic detours; instead, they're all about surviving. Orbiter 9 suggests if you have to rough it out in space, do it with someone you love. Go to Full Review
Becky Kukla Film Inquiry 05/16/2018
There seems to be a kind of renaissance in space exploration in film and television at the moment. Orbiter 9 is a nice addition to this canon of films, but it doesn't really add that much to the conversation. Go to Full Review
Eddie Strait The Daily Dot 04/13/2018
Orbiter 9 starts as a compelling sci-fi piece, then the plot kicks in and it becomes dull. It's a shame because the story has the heft to carry a better movie but it's ultimately another misfire for Netflix. Go to Full Review

... you'll find the film's central love story is one of the more insightful and surprisingly romantic space relationships in this galaxy. Go to Full Review

G.I. J Apr 27 Wow ! This is one of the best idea of SciFi movies !!! This movie is insanly underrated !! Absolutley worth to be watched !! See more T T 02/05/2023 Not a good movie at all. Our hero and heroine don't make intelligent choices from the beginning of the movie until the end. The storyline and plot were bland. There wasn't enough "meat" to make an entire movie out of it. This concept could have been a good subplot in a bigger movie. But as a standalone concept, it just was not enough to make a movie out of it. Finally, the ending was not creative or witty.

See more 05/16/2020 Good Movie and ending See more 12/09/2019 If you want to see what an istagram filter clutching independent Youtube artist might do to fill an hour and a half with 20 minutes worth of content then you came to the right place. The initial concept has potential but they throw it right out the window well before the halfway mark. Too slow paced to enjoy for "funny bad" reasons. Spoiler(?): the wild part is that by never acknowledging her inability to survive on a life supporting planet, there's no way the people they send to Celeste will survive either. That missing plot point is the trunk of a tree blossoming with plot holes, as well as dialogue that would only fit the premise if lobotomies were mandatory, which honestly became more believable than I'm comfortable acknowledging ever since 2016 happened.
