*HUGE* Thank you to everyone who has watched, liked (or disliked), shared and/or commented on this video. This review of Stowaway has been my most successful video recently and has helped my little movie channel grow. Whether you agree or disagree with my opinion on this movie, I greatly appreciated everyone who has interacted with this video, all interactions help the videos perform better. My channel is still very very small and although 2.3k views (at the time of writing this) is a tiny amount of views to most channels, it's been huge for me and greatly motivates me to keep going in my bid to grow this channel. If you have the time I'd really appreciate if you checked out some of the other content on the channel, share some videos to help the channel grow and of course let me know your opinions positive or negative on any film I've reviewed or featured on the channel.

Also if you're reading this, you are awesome and I hope you have a great day! 😉😉😉

Biggest flaw was Micheal surviving the launch…. I am ok with everything else, I can suspend my disbelief…. Also a bit heavy on girlpower, and incompetent men tropes… but I don’t think that necessarily ruins the movie, it was mostly plausible.

What it did RIGHT….. we got right into the thick of the movie…. No half an hour of character and plot introductions, no home life shots before the mission, no drawn out explanation of what they are doing and why. We start at the launch and they give you enough information to piece together what’s going on without holding your hand.

Nobody was the villain… which given the situation this movie could have easily provided one and went in that direction, I kept waiting for someone to take that turn and it didn’t happen, subverting expectations in an actual good way.

Didn’t have a happy ending where they figure it out and everyone is able to live…. Kept waiting for a last second solution that never came…. Again subverting expectations in a good way.

All in all it was a solid movie that didn’t follow typical story telling tropes. And I’m a sucker for movies that have realistic endings where it doesn’t all work out.

Stowaway damages the only thing they all need for survival. And then they're feeling sorry for themselves for wanting to survive.

[manudearrecifes]

From the very beginning like you said the movie makes no sense, and the fact that the only engineer on the ship was completely useless to repair or do anything was really frustrating. When the movie ends I was like this can't be it, c'mon really?? 2 hours for this???"

[jherr]

I kept on waiting for the whole "mechanical engineer" thing to pay off. I'm like; Ok, here is the scene where Michael says 'Sure, but I'm a mechanical engineer I'll whip something up!' But no. It never happens. They set it up. And they don't pay it off. And that's literally the whole movie.

Oh, oh, and at the end, blood splatter on the outside of her spacesuit? Wait, what? Where is that coming from? If it's coming from inside it would have to be coming from inside and around, and, OMG, this is a bad movie.

[elcidS]

The fact they are worried about weight yet have BOTH “iPads” AND paper manuals killed me. I started laughing when I saw her flipping through a BOOK about the one specific part that broke. Is this ship filled with thick paper manuals on every little thing? No wonder they couldn’t be bothered to invest in karabiner clips for tethering themselves and important items to the ship. This ship was designed by idiots.

[jime]

Oh, you all have been spoiled by every movie that’s ever come out since Star Wars. If it’s not action packed, you’ve no interest.
I don’t care why the guy was in there. I don’t need the action. I want tormenting decisions and life and death situations and this delivered.

[Zebwak]

They explain why there isn’t enough oxygen for three people. The craft was built for 2 and modified to manage 3. The mission decided to take that risk. We don’t need to know exactly why… missing information isn’t a plot hole, especially when it’s irrelevant.

[iholesale]

Like they wouldn't have a replacement co2 scrubber, and parts, and about 5 other backups

[grandslapper]

There are many, much worse, far more nonsensical sci fi films. I liked the fact that the hero didn't go around zapping aliens with blasters, or punching anybody, but she still managed to be very heroic anyway. Different. I also really liked the fact that explained how the actors didn't need to dangle from wires.

[DeusExMathias]

Thank you!!
For f* sake, the entire movie I was waiting for the twist, the big reveal as to why Michael was really screwed into that tiny hatch. There's no way it was accidental.

The other main thing that bugged the s*t out of me is the utter lack of basic climbing/spacewalk safety protocol when spacewalking between the 2 sections. There's no way in hell each one of them hadn't been drilled over and over on external emergency repair scenarios. This wasn't a bus ride.

[aizat]

I agree with most of the things what you said. I'm frustrated as well. But I think you were a bit harsh on the director. I think some of his choices are on purpose. That shakey camera & one sided phone/video call. I'd like to think that the director wanted viewers to see the movie in the crews' perspective. And they felt so far away from the earth and viewers would only focus on them. To give viewers that sense of hopelessness.

[annaamandarine]

I certainly wouldn't fly into space with the space agency from the movie (spoiler): first they forget a technician in the spaceship (who accidentally screwed himself in there). Then there's no safety system for astronauts climbing around the spaceship. They can't tell you for sure how much oxygen there actually is in the external tank and even fit it with a leaky valve. Can someone shut the place down? 😂

[Manzana-gctz]

I 100% agree that it was in fact the stupidest movie of all time

[bigkabuto]

Oh wow, I actually didn't pay attention to him being screwed in at that spot. I did think "right, nobody did a full check on this before launch? Nobody was missing this person? But what you mentioned truly is the biggest flaw, it's ridiculous really.

[Fanzindel]

That screwed ceiling panel BS was seriously the biggest distraction in this whole movie. The whole time I was thinking.. they’ll surely explain it, any minute now. And the Harvard vs Yale nonsense? Please. Sure, I’ll go on a 2 year mission in a tin can and bring nothing but university memorabilia instead of a single picture of my family/friends. Makes sense.

[ArturoTabera]

Space in a space station is typically scarce like in a submarine. Why is there so much space wasted you can fit a person behind a panel anyway? It goes on and on.

[miqc]

I give you the panel thing but it is absolutely plausibel that the script doesn't talk about how they called Mission control. The movie is not about the facts like Interstellar, it's about the people which is why the rough start, the camery angles and the silence shots make sence. By the way: a real Nasa rocket exploded once because there was a fucking rubber ring briddle, that excuses some of the flaws like why where there no backups, space is just fucking risky hanging on a lifeline all the time. Again: the movie is about the protagonists who are all under adrenalin which could be why they didn't make completely neutral decisions. And the camera work, music and no additional shots before or after the film make absolute sence.

[yeahwtv]

Here's my issues with the movie:
- no explanation why michael got stuck in screwed in panel
- no interesting twist with michael or his backstory
- why michael, an engineer, couldnt fix or at least try to fix the panel that he was working on before he got locked in it. Shouldnt he know that system?
- they said they will take 10 days to think of solutions, yet it really didnt look like they were brainstorming on any solution and just mopping around
- why was there not enough backup systems on the spaceship
- at some point they said the co2 scrubbers are broken by Michael's fall yet the main issue seems to be lack of oxygen.. they still also need to remove the co2 from their cabin air
- i find it hard to believe that nasa wouldnt know how much fuel they used and how much was left in the fuel tank
- its impossible that the fuel tank has only one line running through it.. thus they could technically perforate one line and empty it, but there should be many others they could use.. and also they said it was liquid oxygen but in the scene the oxygen was coming out as gas.
- and is really that one canister of "liquid oxygen" enough to supply oxygen for one person for 2 years?
- why is David's character so out of shape? Shouldn't astronauts be in top physical condition?
- why did david bring so little algae for a 2 year experiment. The algae was the bulk of his study, he shouldve had much more
- with davids algae dying and him not being able to do research anymore and with the doctor who was supposed to do medical research gone, what is even the purpose of this 2 years trip where no research can be conducted?
- why didnt they use tethers during the EVA?
- how were they not being able to predict the radiation storm.. I'm sure they must have some tools for that

But overall the movie was pretty enjoyable :)

[MarcoMarkovich]

The film felt really low budget. Artificial gravity to save on having people floating all the time. Shot of the crew taking off because there is no money to show the outside. Yes, the premise is really stupid.
