Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Great yet simple plot, minimalist scenery, no ballast, right balance between action and suspense. I enjoyed watching this movie a lot.I bumped into it accidentally while browsing through last days of programme on SciFi channel. Does anybody else gets a association with another great movie, even better in my opinion? Enemy Mine comes to mind on more that one occasion.

This movie has great character build up as well as a decent plot. The visual effects are not the type you would see in a prime cinema feature, but this does not in the least spoil the film. In fact, the effects are more 'realistic' and not over the top with Michael Bay style explosions. Where the movie doesn't deliver on special effects, it delivers on acting performance, storyline, and cinematography. Attention to detail is such that you don't notice 'issues' with the background, or errors in time-line; nor do you see things as quirky or unbelievable.I recommend this movie to any sci-fi buff, as well as those that enjoy a good drama/mystery type flick.

The movie falls weirdly in between mystery and action genres. The story sure presents a nice intriguing basic premise. There are surprisingly good twists and turns in the story that makes it more interesting. It's too bad that the movie took too long in depicting the solace of the deserted planet and the solitude of both the soldier and the prisoner that it wasted much of the screen time duration. I practically skipped a few minutes while watching and still catches on to the whole story well. The dialog seems quite nice in portraying the conflicts. Yet that didn't really suffice to create a space epic movie when this movie has only a single location, low budget make-up and prosthetics, and stupid-looking props. The acting overall is just below standard. The ones in make-up and prosthetics got their faces stiff so bad that they don't express well on their faces. While the prisoner simply grins too much that it makes the movie look stupid.

This is a great little sci-fi short story about a solder chasing down a dangerous escaped prisoner.From the very start it is obvious the budget of this movie is very tight. But the production is handle with great skill and -most importantly- care. They obviously couldn't afford much in the way of set but instead of trying to recreate Mars from papier mache and dodgy cgi it has been shot on location in a desert somewhere, which works just fine.The makeup for the aliens is convincing which is where it counts for a character based movie.There is some action but the film is mainly about the two opposing solders and the motivations for their actions.If you have an hour or two to kill on a random Wednesday and you like Sci-fi and this comes up on TV go for it. This movie has a lot of heart but don't expect Avatar.
