Review of Stowaway

Stowaway (I) (2021)
1/10
Promising start, thrown away by dumb writing
27 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
So the first 20 minutes was great, felt like it was going to be really great movie, then they discover the stowaway, somehow he was inside a bolted hatch, hmmm. Ok, I will let that go, I am sure it is integral to the plot. Next it seems the stowaway seems to have destroyed the co2 scrubber, and apparently there is no backup, hmmm, ok, seems kind of sloppy to spend billions of dollars and not pay for a backup system, but let's continue. So now they decided to use Algae to create oxygen, O dear that failed as well, boy this trip is unlucky. Now they have to tell the stow away he has to kill himself as their is not enough oxygen, but wait they suddenly discover another source of oxygen as far away from them as possible so they have to perform a space walk, oddly this space walk seems somewhat blase as they just winged it. Luckily they made it and filled 1 canister, which apparently had enough oxygen for the trip to Mars, how this is possible, answers on a postcard please. Then a solar storm, rush back to ship, drop canister, pick the Dr to go back out to certain death and get a 2nd canister because who needs a doctor and then it ends.

Real shame, had promise, but yet another Netflix film that fails to deliver.
