Review of Stowaway (2021) by Unclewillard — 23 Apr 2021
I'm a sci-fi nut, and spacefaring is one of my favorite sub-genres, especially when it's done well, or as close as possible to real science. In fact, serious potholes or just bad science is usually a deal-breaker for me.
Having said that, my suspension of disbelief remained intact despite a few hiccups if the story, acting, and production are good. This is a win because of the story and acting. And despite some of my hackles being raised with weak plot points, I really enjoyed the heart of this movie.
It's about everything astronauts and explorers are willing to sacrifice to take on these missions. In that endeavor, this movie exceeds expectations. I see a lot of folks saying it's boring, but I enjoyed the slow burn.
They could have easily added more action or some other blockbuster-level disaster to spice it up, but they didn't and I think that saved the movie from being melodramatic.
