I liked this space western. It feels grounded and isn't all over the top with sci-fi ex-machinas. Good cast and story.
A western under the guise of scifi, looks great and does a really good job with the combination, expanding on old tropes. 7/10
John Carpentets "Dark Star" updated by 40 years, lost the absurd humour but gained a bit tighter script writing.
A modest but gorgeously realised story of survival on a far-flung frontier.
Indie and a little style over substance, but enjoyable and gripping journey through a dig
Better than good, and a whole lot better than I expected. Tense alternative scifi, 70s set design giving it a grimey realism. PP is great.
A slow burn, science fiction western with a lot of heart.
Delivers a captivating sci-fi experience with rich world-building and intense performances. Falls short in pacing at times.
An interesting enough watch, but not that memorable. I would give it 2.5 stars if I could.
2☆ seems a bit harsh & 3☆ a bit too high. If u are a sci-fi cinephile, you will most likely be sorely disappointed. More a drama adventure.

The story of Operation Market Garden—a failed attempt by the allies in the latter stages of WWII to end the war quickly by securing three bridges in Holland allowing access over the Rhine into Germany. A combination of poor allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German panzer divisions meant that the final part of this operation (the bridge in Arnhem over the Rhine) was doomed to failure.
