THE OSIRIS CHILD (2016)
Okay in this one we have some
interplanetary colonization happening in the future. This company Exor is shady
has hell and basically has a giant ship floating above a planet, that is slowly
getting taken over by menacing Cousin It’s. Just from knowing this bit of
information, and the fact that Exor is a military contractor, you can pretty
much figure out what’s going on before they tell you. Kane Sommerville has his
family on the planet, but has learned his daughter has not made it off world safely,
so naturally he is going to have to call in late to his job and piss off his
boss at Exor to save the day.
The special effects in this one are not
bad at all. Not amazing, but definitely not bad. The creatures look pretty nuts
and cause a good amount of damage. While looking for his daughter Kane runs
into a few others people not trying to get off the planet, including a brother
and sister that is basically dating each other. What the Game Of Thrones…? The
sister is played by Isabel Lucas (TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN, IMMORTALS,
EMERALD CITY) so this may have just been a chance to show her acting skills and
for that I have to give her credit.
The story line moves along okay, with the
exception of the flashbacks to a prison escape, that ties into the rest of the
story. If you have been reading my reviews for long you know I am not crazy
about this type of story sequence especially when it seems that this entire
portion of the movie could have been told in a few minutes rather than half the
movie.
If you are going to revolve a whole movie
around a child, my advice is to never have them just be a whiny kid right up
until the twist ending. I looks like this thing is part of a series, but the
installment in and of itself, isn’t anything over the top special. I would have
liked to see a lot more interesting cinematography and fun camera work, but for
what we actually do got I gotta give this one a 3 out of 7. Having said that, I
would be interested in seeing the rest of the story.
