Stowaway on Netflix (films, drama, directors, sci-fi)

How does it compare to "Marooned?"

Meh, you seen one space movie, you seriously have seen them all.

Always seems to be a crisis with running out of essential life supplies and having to go outside the ship and all.

I thought actors were decent enough but ultimately nothing of substance in movie.

The base Cold Equation
story worked better as a Twilight Zone episode. Daniel Dae Kim's encounter with the stowaway and the spacewalk alone don't make the short story or half hour TV morality play worth 2 hours.

I'd give it 3 on a 10 scale at best. Overdone plot, no understanding of actual spaceships or voyages, mediocre acting, horrible set designs.

Everyone knows the weight/capacity of space flight is crucial down to the last ounce. AS IF some guy could mysteriously sneak aboard (like no one would see him???) a space craft. And no one seemed particularly angry at him, even though of course they had not enough food, water, air, fuel. Jeopardizing all of them.

They never explained how he got onboard. Then that ending! WTH? What even happened? Stupidest movie I've seen in ages, yet it got very good reviews! What is the deal there.

Looks awful. And I don't like the casting. And why are they in the Millenium Falcon?

I think the story was done as a moral refutation of The Cold Equations.

2 white women and one Asian man decides whether a black man lives or dies.

Their was none of those hated white men in the entire film.

And it was a black man who caused the problem in the first place. So what was the moral of the story?

Black man causes catastrophe, white girl dies?
