An absolute waste of money

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

There is almost no plot after a scout ship crashes on unknown planet, unless you count Kate traveling 60 kilometers over semi-mountainous terrain to rescue her injured captain and then a score more to find the crash site so she can send a distress beacon.There is very little dialogue for at least half the movie, which is good because Danielle Chuchran delivers it poorly in quick but flat lines.One thing is for certain. Kate, who has lived all her two-score years of life on a space ship is in physical shape that boggles the mind. She runs and climbs and runs and climbs. In crashing, Kate falls out of the scout ship and plummets apparently miles but opens a tiny chute about 50 feet above the water and survives. Then she gets knocked out and captured, but her captor is gone when she wakes up so she escapes. He or another of the natives (all wearing masks) traps her again, but she escapes again by simply climbing away. Chased by a half-dozen or more natives who are almost on top of her, somehow she is magically away from them and "safe". Three monsters corner her with three arrows left so she climbs a sheer cliff, then shoots at least twice that many arrows to kill them all.More running, more impossible fighting. The monsters have 4 inch claws but never use them and outweigh Kate 2-1 but she defeats several of them in hand to hand several times.Finally some plot and dialogue with about 20 minutes left in this 1-1/2 hour film. And the plot is not that great.In this part of the movie, natives remove their clumsy masks which appeared to be for breathing, but apparently they don't need them.Chuchran has a pretty enough face, if you enjoy looking at a dirty girl with unkempt hair. But she is not enough to carry this movie with its ridiculous fights and lame plot. Wait til you see the ending.

The title of the movie is Survivor (2014) Written and Directed by John Lyde, I found the movie entertaining,eminently watchable, and dumb.Spoiler ahead.2014 was a year of Science Fiction gold, This movie was overshadowed. Whats it about? A one woman army of one, chasing across some attractive landscapes. In this case our Marathon Woman is Kate, played by Danielle Churchran. She is pretty, and watching her run, jump, climb, ride, fight and fight is entertaining, She is suppose to be from space, with a crew aboard a spaceship piloted by Captain Hunter played by Kevin Sorbo, who it turns out, spends most of the movie on his back. The ship is also crewed by an odd lot of expendable actors.Escaping a dead earth, they see a world to inhabit. They hop on the wormhole express, next stop an earth like world; So they crash and land on a wild and primitive planet. Sound familiar? Rather early on,After the crash, the crew is separated, When the movie fits an action search and find format, it rolls smoothly enough, but when the story gets in the way, it goes sappy. Enter Rogan, played by Rocky Myers English speaking Clan member, and resident of this "strange" planet, with horses. and Murlocks.The creature effects are passable, All around good production values, nice score by James Schafer The movie does fine when the plot doesn't get in the way, It ends rather anti anticlimactically as the remainder of the cast continue to overact, and reassemble to be rescued from what? this movie, can't blame 'em. I would give Survivor six out of ten stars because of its free-fall plot.

I thought this movie was OK-if you're stuck home sick. It had a good SF premise but it fell apart somehow. They opened the film with a scene of someone falling through empty space-exactly the way the film Predators opens. It shares other similarities with Predators in that some of the "aliens" look like they wandered in from a set of the film Predators. No matter-it was made for light Saturday afternoon viewing anyway, so what the hey. The female lead was in good shape- looking like she had just trained for a Triathlon, which is something you don't see very often in contemporary SF. Good ending-I was expecting a poor one since it became kind of a 'monster mash' somewhere towards the end. All in all it doesn't work as big screen material for one reason or another but it works as a film to watch if you are under the weather. Thats all I got.

First off you really do have to hand to to this entire crew for creating a movie this big in scope completely through Kickstarter. This is a fully fleshed out scifi movie that sadly falls so flat. There is so much over acting, and way too much video game style leveling up as the story progressed. Simple things that make no sense like a comm system that seems to increase it's capabilities as we get 20 minutes further in. A strange race of Morlock types who seem fine with the sun, and still were shredded clothes that they could never have worn to begin with that look like stretch Armstrong, but they all go down with one punch. I kept trying to like this movie just for the sake of it, but there are just too many of those. A race of strange people speaking Klingon or something that can understand English just fine (The Queen's English at that). The action would be good enough if it wasn't so over the top, and over acted. The week are feeble, and the strong are not always strong. Kate can lift herself up a mountain with her arms, but has trouble on a horse, and they did say "gravity normal" when they first landed. Last thing really "Taking on water" where? then she was just floating under the water. Saturday afternoon popcorn stuff here. This is the movie you will watch while you clean the TV room. I really liked the special effects, most of the green screen was handled well, and the story is just too much like a loose Seventies kind of thing before real science started getting into science fiction stories. I Enjoyed the end result even though I was shaking my head a lot, so I say if you like movies where women kick but, and climb stuff, then this is that, and there are space ships too.Jesse of www.jesse.ca
