Review of Voyagers (2021) by Unclewillard — 24 Jul 2021
Not sure what some of the critics are driving at, but I've always felt that sci-fi has always been a whipping post for them (unless it's a beloved franchise that they can gush over). I like movies that take a chance and aren't trying for a trilogy. I also love the space roadtrip genre, and there just aren't enough of them for me. I thought this was an interesting take on the generational ship, enough so that I was able to start plugging plot holes and enjoy it. Production values were on point, acting was fine, and the story, while an obvious Lord of the Flies vibe, was engaging. Given these same critics gush over superhero movies (even calling them sci-fi when they're really just action movies in a sci-fi setting), I'm not surprised they got.the old.whips out for something that doesn't have the armor of a franchise to protect it.
As per usual, I disagree with some of the worst redballs on here, and even some of the yellow. I dug this.
