Ralph R Stowaway had a solid premise, but it didn’t quite reach its full potential. The story is simple but could have been executed better. The tension is there, and the stakes are high, but a lot of moments feel forced rather than naturally unfolding. It also has some pacing issues, making it feel slower than it needed to be. The moral dilemma at the core is interesting, but the depth of the story doesn’t hit as hard as it should. The directing is fine, nothing too special, but the cinematography and CGI are where things fall short. With the entire movie taking place on the spaceship, the visuals needed to feel immersive, but they just don't. The ship itself doesn’t look as real as it should, making some scenes feel like they’re missing that extra layer of realism. That being said, the performances were good. The cast did their job well, bringing emotion into the story, but even with solid acting, the script felt a bit weak. Some dialogue and situations felt unnatural, like they were trying too hard to create drama. The sound design and score are decent, nothing that really stands out, but they do their job in setting the tone. It feels like a lower-budget film compared to other space movies, and that shows in both the production and execution. It had potential to be something more intense and thought-provoking but didn’t quite get there. Not a bad watch if you like slow-burn space dramas, but it’s not one that leaves a lasting impact. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Derek D Decent movie, but so frustrating to watch. Classic case of logical thinking vs emotional thinking. The answer to the “problem” in this movie is clear as day, yet we have to watch Anna Kendrick play a character whose emotions are so strong they blind her from the logical solution. It’s frustrating watching it play out. There’s also some really obvious common sense issues- such as not being tethered to the spacecraft while out space walking… and bringing in a METAL oxygen tank into a ship after it’s been through a deadly solar storm and obviously radioactive (for probably a thousand years). The pacing of the movie is uneven and made me want to fast forward several parts- although I didn’t.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/05/25 Full Review Audience Member I wrote reviews for this movie but it got deleted after RT got bought by Fandango. I don't remember what I wrote, nor this movie so it must not have been that great. I recall it not being realistic. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Brian G The movie was good but the ending ( if you can even call it an ending ) kind of ruined it for me as I think they goofed up with the whole story. So they venture out to go get more oxygen from that capsule at the end of the pole arm things sticking way out. But then they have to hurry back suddenly when an alarm sounds warning of an oncoming solar storm. So they barely make it back in time to the main cabin, and lose the oxygen in the process. So she goes back out to get more oxygen from the leaking tank in the solar storm. So why did they even bother returning the first time? It made no sense to me whatsoever. I can believe some producers and directors sat there and ok’d this in the story line. Ummmm hello??? Maybe watch your own movie before releasing it for everyone to watch. I will say that Anna Kendrick is a kick ass actress. I love her. So that made it worth it for me. Toni Collette as well. In fact all the acting was really good. It would have made a much better and more satisfying film if they had just got the oxygen back and saved everyone. Then continued on and at least showed them approaching Mars. Why do they always have to end these movies badly Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review John S Had a lot of promise in the beginning, flawed by a low budget, a poor understanding of science (no tethers for spacewalk?) and an absolutely terrible ending that makes zero logical sense and probably cost the movie millions in revenue Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Read all reviews
