5th Passenger (2018)

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The name of Marina Sirtis is immediately associated to the character Counselor Deanna Troi, from "Star Trek: The Next Generation". The cast has other names from Star Trek series. With this nostalgia and expectation of a good sci-fi, the unwary viewer may watch "5th Passenger" like I did. Unfortunately, the story is awful and the screenplay is a mess with a confused conclusion. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): Not Available

I was a part of getting this film made and unlike some artists I can be honest about my own art. This is a B-Movie, but as B Movies go it is top notch. B-Movies get there name for many reasons, in our case, we were "B" for broke. We had almost no budget at all. Yet talented people banded together and did what they could with next to nothing but love for a cool little story. I don't often get excited reading screenplays by people who have never made a film before, but this screenplay got me to call a bunch of talented friends together to work for next to nothing and take a shot on something that had no shot to begin with. Only a good story can do that to people. This movie deserves to be seen because people gave their all when they had nothing to gain to get this on the screen. If we would have had millions it would Star an A-lister or two and the VFX would be flawless. So, I say to you movie lovers, lovers of science fiction. Watch this film knowing thousands were spent and lives were put on hold to tell this story on the screen. Grade this film knowing it's incredibly low budget and you too may give this film a ten. I made it, so I know EXACTLY where and when we could have done better, and I fairly give it a six. Those of you with your noses in the air, and your proud middle fingers number "1 Star" ratings. I would like you to put your life on hold, Star by writing a screenplay, then raise barely enough money to pay anyone a minimum wage, find a place to shoot, and cameras lights and equipment and do better then 5th Passenger before you take yourself seriously as a film "critic." We did Ok, and the film is worth watching if you truly like movies. If you only enjoy 40-200 million dollar blockbusters, then this isn't for you. Everyone else, enjoy the ride, it's a little cramped, and tight in here, this spaceship has one too many passengers aboard. Which one deserves to go? Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy a movie made by people who truly LOVE movies. We know, we're trying to make magic daily, not crush it beneath our egotistical toes.

Save yourself time and find something else to watch. Hell, throw some paint on the wall, and take in all those minutes it takes it to dry; you will still get more out of it than by watching this drivel.low budget does not mean that you can act like crap.. yet they do. low budget does not mean that CGI needs to be garbage.. yet it is. low budget does not mean that a story has to be a complete waste.. do you see where this is going? horrible film. Waste of time and bandwidth.

What could go wrong? Sci-Fi, such a popular genre with a loyal following and a cast that includes Tim Russ (Tuvok) from Voyager & Marina Sirtis (Troi) from STTNG. The effects early on were fine, spaceship explosions seemed reasonably authentic and the idea of 5 people in a pod and not enough air to support them all seemed a good one. We all had debates like that at school, should you lose from the balloon, the doctor, teacher, lawyer etc. But then the script kicked in and boy was it lame, the acting couldn't rise above the shocking material that the cast were given and when the alien intruder arrived, everything just got rather silly. My quote of the movie "One thing's for certain, the planet is a woman" Just about sums the script up. I feel Captain Pickard and Janeway have some disciplinary action to take.
