Review of Órbita 9

Órbita 9 (2017)
4/10
Hardly Sci-fi. Just a romantic overused formula.

There is a sci-fi idea behind.. But it is hardly relevant. All the movie revolves with the drama between the protagonists. I fell for this one. I usually don't watch Spanish movies (and i speak Spanish too) because most of the times, the actors don't convince me. This one was another one where i couldn't believe any of the actors. There are times where a couple of actors spoke with sentences mixed in Spanish and English, cant really understand why.

I don't like spoiling anything, But the main plot twists are really easy to spot, and/or guess in advance. And even if you don't guess them, when they come, they are not really surprising. You are left feeling " well.. that was obvious".

The pacing is slow. Not annoyingly, but unnecessarily. The first time i watched i fell asleep right in the middle.

For me , i didn't care for this movie. If i had missed it, i wouldn't even care. Still, the quality of the production has some value.

If you like Spanish movies (and i mean, spoken Spanish, like Abre los ojos) you might enjoy this one.

If you don't like subtitles, or Spanish accent, or romantic movies. skip it.
