Stowaway

If you like movies in which the action is internal to a character (being played by an actress you don’t like), you might like this one.

‍

The set-up is not at all believable: a guy is found 12 hours after lift off, unconscious, closed into a ceiling panel of a space vessel - and nobody knows how he got there. Yeah, sure. A multi-billion dollar space craft has a random dude putzing around just before take off and, ostensibly, other people hanging out with him who chose to close him into a wall.

‍

The writers could have leaned into the mystery of that, but they didn’t. We weren't even able to consider that he might have been an intentional stowaway because the character and the script make sure we believe that he knows nothing about how he got there. Stupid.

‍

They could have milked that for mystery and intrigue but they don’t because there is a more pressing problem: there’s not enough air for four people.

‍

So the crux of the movie revolves around how they are going to solve this problem.

‍

They solve it by throwing away the most crucial person onboard. A woman, of course.

‍

Thankfully, they did such a poor job of developing the character that I wasn’t emotionally invested in her and didn’t feel anything at the end.

‍

What a stinker. Not recommended.
