I think the camera work, editing , effects, the CGI environment and other CGI work were very good .
Even the story isn't bad at all .
That's very rare for a Scifi movie without a massive budget .
For me it really fell short when it came to the characters . The dialogues, maybe the way the characters were written or directed, it felt hollow and cheap. The actors wern't horrible, not good either, but the casting was way off . The captain and the old guy most obviously, the rest of them as well to some degree .
There are better actors, and actors who would have been a better fit for their respective roles, without increasing the budget . Casting is an art in of itself, and the people responsible here didn't have the skills to get it right .
I guess there is a reason why some decent movies are merely watchable, like this one, and some movies are good or even great despite having a similar budget and some main ingredients are no better or even worse .
You just can't get any of those main ingredients completely wrong, and this movie is guilty of that re. the casting and characters .
Still very watchable though, just a shame about the avoidable shortcomings .
