Sputnik (2020)
Well I went into this one with low expectations and had one of the best surprises since Moon
As I said in the title, I had low, like really low expectations after I saw the trailer but after 20minutes I was already checking how much more time I will have to enjoy this movie.
The atmosphere is great, the creature is believable, they captured the cold war area quite well, the movie discovers humans darkest thoughts and all the explanations that are given/or not given are also believable.
Sure there are some minor plotholes and some things dont get explained that well but its only minor flaws.
If you are like me and love recent dark sci-fi horror movies like Life, The Mist, Europa Report, Apollo 18 and Moon, this one will most certainly not disappoint.
I know a lot of people only gave a bad rating but dont let you fool by that. The film can absolutely hold up to Hollywood production standards (sadly not that hard anymore) and even overcome it.
I think the "bad" rating here on imdb is based on people not liking the genre (sci-fi/horror) and/or compare all sci-fi/horror movies to Alien I and II.
Finally I have to say that I'm sad that this story didnt made it into a TV series. The story could be told even better if that would be the case.
The only reason I did not rate it with a 10 is because of some plotholes (spoiler: when they visit the co-pilot) but thats ok.
