Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times The minimalist approach and premise of "Solis" should work, but the execution in the script keeps the viewer disengaged, wishing the pod would move more quickly toward its final destination. Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut A space survival film that almost but not quite survives its own ambition; which I can forgive, as it is the writer/director's first feature. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film The pacing, like Holloway, is out of control, sometimes racing along but, more often, hanging about for no apparent reason. Rated: 2/5 Oct 26, 2018 Full Review Mark R. Leeper Mark Leeper's Reviews The film would probably be much better if the sound mixer made the dialog easier to understand. Rated: 6/10 Oct 24, 2018 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams SciFiNow The effects are solid and there's initial intrigue, but that the script has to rely on so much exposition and back-story to encourage one to care about Holloway. Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Go-wit T It's the "I Shouldn't be Alive" story of the future into a movie. I really don't know why people g8ve it a bad wrap. Or maybe it's how my cousin would say for a space movie like this, "Their just their and nothing else!" But I appreciate the POV from his perspective, knowing death is imminent and yet clings on to hope. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Gavin D Poor acting.low budget typical phone box movie. Don't bother. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Jan V It's OK, but does drag on a bit. The ending feels like a cop-out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review seaweed M The plot structure and themes are simple and concise, expressing the panic and lack of motivation to survive, and also revealing the tension of taking risks. During the period, the concept of space medical first aid was incorporated, and the fighting spirit of never giving up hope was presented. The film Eleven Dimensions does not seem to be very bad, the lack is only the special effects, and the plot is not bad. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/05/23 Full Review Adam A Whyyyy did he have to look directly to the sun. Just stay behind the chair, or even turn around and look to the other side. I don't believe I watched this whole movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review C M G Considering this was a one-man show, we found this movie to be entertaining and suspenseful. Where Gravity had mega bucks and mega star Sandra Bullock, Solis has Steven Ogg, otherwise known as Simon, Negan's right hand man, from The Walking Dead. If you're a fan of his, this won't disappoint. He worked his tail off, and it shows in an energetic, gripping performance. He's overly enthusiastic at times, a lot like John Lithgow, but in an enjoyable, theatrical way, and because he's the only performer we see throughout the movie, it works well. We disliked the overzealous musical score, but for the most part, everything worked to deliver 90 minutes of tense moments. This is the director's first go of it, and in our fifties, with many movies under our belts, this was a fun ride. *****************SPOILER: While all signs point to his successful rescue, we wanted to see it. But, we believe he made it. Hollaway told Roberts he would come through the window, and instead of saying he was sorry or that he loved her, he determinedly told his wife he was coming home as the glass broke - despite the conversation he had with Roberts, where she told him she had wanted her husband to tell her he loved her if it was the end. And, we believed him because so far he pulled off everything he said he would. But, rather than leave the audience with only hope in their hands after so much buildup, we would have liked to at least see Roberts catch him as she promised. It was so important to her, and we wanted to see her win. Even if we pulled back and watched it happen at a distance, or just heard audio of the rescue after the glass broke. The audio could have even rolled after the credits. But, relatively ambiguous ending aside, what was really, really great about the ending that none of the critics mentioned, was that we were fixated on the window the entire time, watching it slowly crack with dread, but in the end, it's his salvation.
