Review of Stranded (2013) by Xolve — 12 Sep 2014

Predictable, poor musical/scoring choices,.

Standard scifi tropes ie. isolation, cabin fever, distrust, alien parasite, infection, 1 hot chick with multiple guys, paranoia and uncertainty.

The movements of the plot could not have been more clearly telegraphed.

The actors are ok but have a boring, functional and expository script to work with.

All in all, a wasted effort. The same things have been done better before, with more style and substance.

'Prometheus' and it's predecessors (Alien, Aliens) explored the same ideas (alien infection/pregnancy, rapidly accelerated growth, blowing it out the airlock, escaping in an escape pod) in a more interesting and profound ways.

Why someone bothered to poorly replicate this is beyond my understanding.

The ending made no sense (hold breath for 3.5 minutes while running... okay) but was predictable as hell. Really? The parasite's on earth now? What a damn surprise.

In short: derivative, sub-par, and a waste of everybody's time, including the audience's.
