Alien Arrival (2016)
7/10
pretty decent low budget scifi

Warning: Spoilers
Arrowhead is a low budget film and you will be reminded of that in more than one occasion; but it's refreshing to see a budding filmmaker use proper filmmaking techniques to entertain you, rather than throwing money at the screen and hoping it works.

The story is of a confused convict, trust into a situation where he is in over his head, who winds up stranded on an alien planet and infected with a weird virus. Then, a series of weird occurrences start to set in - most lifted from other films, but fused together enough to become something new. It's got a bit of Riddick, a bit of Moon, a touch of Alien, some Robinson Crusoe, and while it's not great, it's certainly watchable, more so if you yourself are interested in filmmaking .. on a budget.

No, it's not better than Interstellar, but it's also much less pretentious.

My vote : 7/10 for the effort.
