Review of Outland

Outland (1981)
4/10
space station, easy guessing, action movie

how do you rate a movie that has a plot so crystal clear as vodka? how do you rate a movie where everything that is going to happen is blindingly obvious.

Sean Connery is a class on its own, also Frances Sternhagen is quite good in her role...

but then all is too simple...no humor (not even hidden dry humor, that would fit the main characters so well).

Even the longly awaited ending leaves you without any satisfaction cause it is so empty...

If you like space station dramas, if you like faces that blow up cause they are suddenly exposed to vacuum, or just want to go and see how movies in the 1980s were done ... you can still give it a try
