Review of Biosphere

Biosphere (2022)
2/10
Predicatable and unbelievable

Warning: Spoilers
The title itself is a lie. The location of the film is a dome, but it cannot be considered a biosphere. A biosphere should contain an ecosystem. I really was expecting that when I went to see the film. Instead of that, what we see is a handful of plants (some plastic) and a few fish. The books outnumber the plants by at least an order of magnitude. This is not a biosphere. It is a couple rooms in a house.

When the first fish died, I pretty much knew what was going to happen in the rest of the movie. Some fish can change gender, and I was well-aware of that fact. I figured that was going to happen in this case, and, indeed it happened. And of course, as soon as it happened, I knew it was going to happen with our heroes as well.

Some things glaringly missing from the film: More plants, a history of how they got into that situation, where the unlimited electricity is coming from, etc.

This would have been better as a 15 minute short.
