A much better movie than I expected. The directing was very good, the
cast was good, even if mostly unrecognizable, and the production was
good. The script was not groundbreaking, and borrowed a little from the
Alien franchise, but when stuff went awry on their spaceship it was
mostly unpredictable and even a little creepy at times. These movies
always seem to suffer from too little science fiction and too much
garden variety thriller, but there it is. Suffice it to say between the
much more high profile "Bright" and the less ambitious TCP, Netflix is
well on its way to establishing itself as a major player in the release
of first run movies. For eight bucks a month I can watch movies on my
65 inch screen and stop for breaks anytime I want. Truth be told movie
theaters don't have that much appeal for me anymore. Now if I can just
get my ISP to stop screwing me on my data usage...
