Review of Prospect (2018) by Mbeckford — 05 Nov 2020
"Prospect" is a a low-budget science fiction space western that starts simply as a "father-daughter" drama in space, quickly evolving into something way more intense. The movie really picks up steam when Pedro Pascal appears around the 20 minute+ mark as a scene-stealing charismatic rascal. The movie screams low budget but you come to respect the fine touches the filmmakers add to make the sci-fi believable. I'm going to geek out a bit here so bear with me: * I swear Pascal is channeling Nathan Fillon's "Mal" from "Serenity" / "Firefly" with his accent.
* Released in 2018, it plays like an audition tape for Pedro Pascal for his role in "The Mandalorian." * Is it just me or does the female protagonist Sophie Thatcher look like Emma Watson's sister? Is there a "hidden gem" movie list out there? If not I may have to start one.
