Astronaut is the worst sci-sci-fi film 2025 (SXSW)

We are only three months old for 2025, but somehow you do not feel early to choose the worst sci-fantastic felop for the year. The Cosmonaut, which took place at the SXSW festival on Friday, was a disappointing, embarrassed slogan. Kate Mara, Lorans Fishbern and Gabriel Luna are all wonderful actors, but they cannot keep the script that refuses to go any interesting or say something significant.

The movie about the astronaut named Sam Walker (Kate Mara), which returned all the bruises from his first trip to space. Nasa thinks that something broke into her space shuttle when he went down to the ground, so they keep her in an isolated house in Virginia while they find out. Next is a dragged film with ghosts, where horrific things gradually grow around Walker. If you hate jumping fears, unhappy luck: that’s all that can offer the second act of this movie.

Like all the worst major characters in the ghost story, Walker requires forever to find out the situation that viewers found out in the first minutes. Yes, there is an explanation in the movie why she is so reluctant to perceive the threat or engaged 90% of common sense that the real person will make in this situation, but it does not make her inactivity less unpleasant for observation.

In After this segment of questions and questionsGabriel Luna (playing in the seated husband Sam), summed up Sam’s character, saying: “In any other picture you look like:” This man is an idiot. Why do they do it? “But she is Captain Sam Walker, and you can believe she will fully investigate.” I love you Gabriel, but I have no idea what you are talking about here. I was 100% thought: “Why is she doing it?” 80% of the time performance.

This movie is director/writer Jess Varley, a directorial debut, and there are many small points that give it away. The first deed has a lot of seemingly random, unmotivated needles, and visual flourry that threw it seems that they were just because the director thought they looked cool. At the end there is also a sequence that is largely borrowed from aesthetics The kitchen sequence of “Jurassic Park”But none of the interesting houses hides and looks for what sequence brought with it. “Cosmonaut” has bits that Harken returned to the best sci-fi films such as “ET” and “Close Sometwors”, which only reminds us of how much this movie lacks.

Where the “astronaut” most throws the ball – this is the last act, where it shows that the film created a big, stupid, unconvincing turn. Worst of all, the movie does not really deal with all the moral issues with which the turning is. The role of the hero Fishburne in IT feels half like all the other heroes on the disclosure. With all the painstaking extensions he received, the permission for great disclosure comes extremely quickly.

I think a lot about the turn would be better if the visual effects were stronger, but they didn’t. So many films that “Cosmonaut” takes inspiration, came out more than thirty, forty years ago, and Scientific fiction things in these movies look much better Than tit here. I sympathize with because the “astronaut” is not a big budget blockbuster, and at the Q&A session, the creators were in advance that they did not have big budget money, but nevertheless, sci-fi vfx just looked too nonsense. The final act wants to drag your hearts, but it’s just too useless to pull the feat.
