Review of Órbita 9

Órbita 9 (2017)
7/10
It orbits just fine, but around a very small and fast moving first act

The good: The film is competently made, and the plot is intriguing enough (not original) to justify its existence. Unfortunately, the movie spoils the intrigue, plus characters, concept and plot, all by itself.

The bad: The rushed first act let's this film down tremendously. It needed to spend more time with the main characters, give the audience time to settle in, believe in and experience the journey with them - but no, it zips through the act and expects the audience to accept the relationship status whilst the remainder of the movie continues off this rushed foundation.

Should you watch it: If you like indie Sci-Fis that end with a satisfying conclusion - you'll enjoy this. A shame as there is a fantastic movie within the constructs that the filmmakers didn't capitalise on.
