Review of Sputnik (2020) by Theredsky — 10 Oct 2020
My feelings on this film get worse and worse each time I think about it but I think a 6/10 is fair for now. I really enjoyed the first half of this film a lot. The opening scene itself in space was beautifully shot and full of tension and the rest of that first half had some good character development and tension until we see what the creature is.
After we see the creature for a little bit, the film took a harsh nosedive. Basically, I enjoyed this Russian boots on the ground version of Alien but after that first half, it wasn’t doing anything for me.
It become very dull and boring and the characters lost a lot of their motivation and become very dull. It turned into a B- action film with no tension at all until the film finally ended. I felt the film had some pretty good performances and was well shot for the most part.
The one technical aspect I really enjoyed a lot was the music. It sounded great and worked well with most of the film even if it felt a little over dramatic at points. If you want a different kind of horror movie or just want to expand your horizons with international horror films then go check this out but if not then pass on this.
