Hello everyone!
Prospect has some great aspects! You will see future tech which looks vintage, this is iconic to the film industry and sets a tone throughout. You will see fluid acting with no forced emotion which creates a realistic range of behavior for the characters situation. You will see transition effects that create mood and give a break from one phase of a story line while setting a contrasting feeling of curiosity and uncertainty when the camera uses dense trees to blend scenes. Without using hundreds of millions of dollars and a crew of 400 people, the artists are able to take you to a far away planet, expose you to conditions and biology that is alien, display technology that looks old yet is far ahead of what we have and gives us actors that wrap up an entire story into a situation through believable responses and the over all story feels like just a small glimpse into this future world and these fated characters. This is all composition, this all comes together...

I went to college and studied Art, I practice photography (check my insta) and I believe that if someone uses metaphors to explain something, they are not being literal because they do not have an internal dialog that is intelligent enough to say what is good, why it is good, what did not work and why it did not work to themselves... let alone other people. So that post up there where someone says this movie was like a sci-fi book you read on a long ride and throw away... they are trying to bring you along for their emotional context without breaking down good and bad into literal attributes. If you want Star wars or Star Trek or Avatar... Don't watch Prospect but if you are intelligent and liked movies like Blade runner or anything retro/vintage post cyberpunk type, this movie might speak to you. Specifically if your not someone who just wanted to be entertained by having your senses blown by ideas bigger then your own, but someone with intelligence who observes and takes it all in and understands with relational thinking and an imagination.

Anyways, I liked it and It doesnt need to be the movie of my lifetime, it did what it was supposed to and it was done well. I would gladly pay to see a second and similar movie with the same casting. I hope Sophia shows up again in some sci-fi movies! I also loved Pedro, great work!

challenge for reviewers; describe aspects why and how it worked or didnt work. I know that is expecting alot... I keep thinking mostly college educated people are into sci-fi films and that people know how to do critiques and such but it has turned into tumorous metaphors based on reviewers individual tastes, not the work itself.
