Turgid melodrama
8 January 2020 | by VoyagerMN1986 – See all my reviews

It isn't a question of how flashy the sci fi is, it is a question of how interesting and challenge it is. Proxima is neither. In fact it is so didactic as to be insulting to the audience and seems to assume the audience are dullards that need repetition.
