Órbita 9 (2017) Reviews
not everything is as it seems, or is it?
This movie takes it's time to tell the story. If you don't have patience you will get nothing out of it. I totally liked this flick because it drew me in. I don't mind a slow moving story if it can keep my interest. This movie has it's flaws, but overall it told a good story with a different perspective. Some people will be put off by subtitles, but that's not a problem for me. I would recommend this for someone who wants something different.
This movie deserves more than 5.5
This was a fairly good little sci thriller with a little bit of everything. There was a dash of suspense, some romance, and even a little Tom Cruise style action where people were running around. The ending wasn't perfect, but I liked how it wasn't dumbed down for the audience. That's a rare thing in today's cinema, and this "you either get it or you don't" attitude has endeared this director to me. The acting was good enough for a movie of this nature, and Clara Lago's performance was memorably good. Overall, I'd say this film deserves a solid 7, but I'm giving it a 10 because it deserves to have a higher average. At the time of writing this review, Orbiter 9 has a 5,5 and suicide squad has a 6.2 on IMDb. That's not right people. That's not right at all.
Raises many questions
SPOILER: Behind the guise of sci-fi and romance, this movie is a horror of sorts, which is what I experienced when the plot twist was revealed. This raises many ethical questions which I find to be the very essence of the story. I valued this more for the discussions and debates it sparked than for the plot of effects. The theme felt very similar to the Netflix Brazilian Portuguese series 3% (which I absolutely loved). The romance was the driving force for the plot, but it felt very tacked on and slightly shallow. It did, however, make me wonder about the validity and depth of Helena's love when she fell in love with Alex simply because he was the only option. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something for their brain to chew on.
Charming SF with good twists and low-key direction.
The beautiful Clara Lago is on her way from a ruined Earth to Celeste, and awakes in her space- pod to find someone docking - the first living person she'll meet apart from her deceased parents. But the handsome engineer who visits to fix her oxygen is offhand, even though he kisses her... You can see the first of the twists coming (it's in the trailer) but some of the others are nicely handled. This low-key futuristic Spanish-made adventure has some good ideas, a pleasing score and cool visuals, but the director could have made more of the story's tragic implications.
Gives away secret too early, gets slow, but interesting overall
No spoilers, I promise. :-) The big reveal is given away too early in the movie, without enough build up or interesting interactions. From there to the next twist, the movie is pretty slow. It makes some future-looking statements but doesn't delve into any detail enough to be truly thought provoking. Just brings up some common SciFi scenarios and then does nothing with it. A few more not too bad twists and a fun ending make it worth watching, but sad that it could have been much better.
