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.

Great small-budget sci-fi flick. Really an overlooked and underrated piece, better than most bigger movies on recent years. I'd die to get some more of this.

There's much to love about the aesthetics of this film, especially for any fan of sci-fi. It's easy to be sucked into the flipping of analog style switches, hand cranked cleaners, old-school air hoses and oxygen filters, and pew-pew lazer guns. There's mysterious flora that hisses and gurgles, and egg sacs filled with meat, acid, and valuable crystals. The well-written, flourished spoken script only adds to the intriguing directions this film ultimately takes. The ending is one big, beautiful smile. So much to enjoy here!

This movie is awesome. I don't know what to tell you I had so much fun watching this. The cinematography is gorgeous, and the two leads make this a formidable ride. Highly recommended if you looking for something new and riveting.

CK Movie Reviews

Prospect is an incredibly slow-paced movie with insufficient tension to be truly entertaining. The characters lacked depth, and although the worldbuilding was praised by many, it felt somewhat flat. Furthermore, the ending left much to be desired, as it felt unresolved.

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

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.

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

Watch 2018's Prospect for the story, of course, but also for the impeccable aesthetic.

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.

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.
