About
You’ll likely enjoy Dark Planet if you want big-budget, thought-provoking sci-fi with a complex world to explore; Not for you if you want a smooth, easy-to-follow screenplay or highly consistent performances, especially compared with Alien Trespass or attraction-heavy space action like Attraction.
Pros: massive sets and graphics; interesting sci-fi premise; story builds tension | Cons: messy or cut screenplay; mixed acting; uneven pacing
