Review of Stowaway (2021) by Miljac — 02 May 2021

While I thought the movie was okay in terms of pacing and has kept my attention for the most part, I have to say that the basic premise was where I was a bit confused: how did the guy ended up as a stowaway and more importantly how did no one notice extra weight or extra oxygen being used before they found him? I would expect such big missions would monitor even the slightest deviations from predicted parameters.

Other than this, I found it interesting, although nothing special or fresh. Since I did not watch any trailer or spoilers, I had no idea where this was heading. It seemed liked Michael fit it rather well too quickly, so I thought he would turn out to be some lunatic, but no.

.. so the movie did manage to divert my expectations, which I guess is good. I did enjoy acting: all four were really good. Collette and Kendrick rarely disappoint me, Kim I only know from Lost where I just loved him and same here.

I must say that I did not know Anderson from before and I really enjoyed his performance. The ending was also a bit "eh"... If it was just about the performances, I would give it a much higher rating, but this way, it is just an average space movie.
