Prospect

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fueled by character development and setting instead of special effects, Prospect is a sci-fi story whose style is defined - and enriched -- by its limitations.

Cary Darling Houston Chronicle The defiantly lo-fi "Prospect" is a smartly entertaining throwback that doesn't need a Marvel movie's worth of CGI to make its point. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times The film balances genre thrills with a detailed depiction of prospecting on an alien world, created via a mix of practical locations (shot in a damp Northwestern forest) and some psychedelic digital backdrops. Nov 5, 2018 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com It's rare to see a sci-fi movie that genuinely has a true grit to it, a characteristic that bolsters its screenplay through its more underwhelming passages. Rated: 3/4 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Monisha Ravisetti CNET Watch 2018's Prospect for the story, of course, but also for the impeccable aesthetic. Mar 21, 2023 Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer Prospect is largely indebted to old-school westerns—the lawless pursuit of these gems is akin to an interstellar gold rush—and Pascal’s character fits into the equation as the charming gunslinger archetype. Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The small details throughout Prospect, which have obviously been thought through and labored over, do much to immerse the viewer in the intense situations. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Spike D It's a fairly straightforward story, but its aesthetics and its worldbuilding are so sublime as to elevate it to something more than the mere sum of its story beats. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Zachary Jacob S Prospect is not a massive film. It feels pretty small scale, despite being an adventure on another planet. The film does have a rushed ending in my opinion. And at some points, feels a bit underdeveloped. However, I did like the characters, and how they progressed. The story was gripping. The acting was top notch. And the score was better than I expected! I'd say, the film isn't perfect, but definitely worth a watch. Especially if you enjoy gritty sci-fi. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Robert C What a low budget piece of senseless garbage. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Bernd E Fine sci-fi movie. The world making is sparse but details suggest a fully worked out ecosystem. Amazing photography and mood. Characters start as two- dimensional but flesh out and develop through the film. As previously said, much like a western set in a changed world, suggestive of a gold rush. Loved the retro technology. And the mechanical breakdowns. Shows the desperation to make a strike, and the greed to make it big. I would watch it again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dave R WTF. WHY MAKE THIS MOVIE? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Jose Raul B A very strange story, with a very complicated plot, and most important whithout a happy ending. It's one of these stories you don't want to be that way, but you still like it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
