(not a remake)
This is less of a review than it is a recommendation. The Osiris Child (a.k.a. Science Fiction Volume One) is the rare
indie sci-fi project that can stand among the special effects blockbusters but
still delivers on the human-level drama of a low-budget flick.
The story pulls together a lot of common tropes: a planet on
the verge of destruction, a mega corporation with a hidden agenda, an officer
who goes rogue to save his child, a team up with an escaped convict, a stop-off
at a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and everyone has a complicated past.
None of this undercuts the movie’s appeal.
