Review of Prospect (2018) by Umaumai — 28 May 2020
I tried to watch this movie multiple times when it was released digitally. Even though it has a promising start, I couldn’t get more then 20 minutes in every time I tried to watch it. It never grabbed me.
There was a strange combination of poor filming, lackluster dialogue and what felt like a cast that took it all too seriously even on a set where the production value would have been called “cheap” by student film standards today.
I also couldn’t shake the feeling that they were trying to go for a “Firefly” vibe with the parlance of the rustic old west set against visuals for a sci-fi story. With all this said, I still couldn’t recommend either way to watch it or not.
If you are into science fiction then I would recommend giving it a shot. Just go in knowing that it moves slow and makes some some dark turns.
