Review of Origin

Origin (2018)
7/10
Potential to be better
7 December 2018
The first thing that struck me was the horrible acting - actually, that's not entirely true. The ''bad acting'' was actually due to ''bad direction''. A group of strangers awoke earlier than expected during their suspended animation en route to a distant planet. They discover that there is an alien on board. Instead of sticking together, they run off alone haphazardly like little spoiled brats whenever they don't get their way. Ouch. Now, the ship is about the size of a small city. The dialogue as well has much to be desired. A scientist, a leading geneticist, sees a digital mapping of the ship with blue lights covering it. He yells violently at a con artist, a girl with a traumatic past, a female astronaut, an ex orderly, and a young girl, ''what are those blue light? What are those blue lights???''. Ouch. The Last episode was a rehash of previous scenes from a different angle in order to explain the evolution of a certain character. Great idea, but it was WAY too long. The last episode summarizes the entire season: great potential, but too many loose ends with useless dialogue.
