Scenes at times feel stretched out as if to say, "Do you see what's happening now? Do you understand what it all means?" While an earnest effort with some incredible acting, Orbiter 9 is unable to escape the gravitational pull of the influences it so clearly wears on its space suit: 2001, Blade Runner, Solaris, for instance.
ORBITER 9 2017 MOVIE
It's a movie very similar in style and aesthetic to other sci-fi movies in which characters work and live in near-isolation with only robot voices for camaraderie and light space cardio for exercise muted colors, introspection, and nothing but low spaceship rumbles to break up the silence.Īnd yet, the movie feels a little too deliberate in its pacing. The story is a slow build with interesting plot twists, and by the time the action reaches a fever pitch, there's a strong sense of what's at stake for each character to match the themes the movie goes to great lengths to communicate. In terms of deeper messages and pacing, this is more 2001: A Space Odyssey than Star Wars. As the two quickly fall in love, Alex must rescue Helena from the scientists who are using her as a guinea pig in their efforts to find ways to save the human race.
This is when Helena's conception of her reality is completely transformed: Alex reveals that he's actually an engineer deeply involved with the real mission and purpose behind Helena's supposed outer space journey.
ORBITER 9 2017 PROFESSIONAL
Alex, the repair technician, arrives at the pod and, unsurprisingly, Helena is eager to meet and talk with him, but a deeper bond begins to develop almost immediately, despite Alex's initial professional demeanor. Now a young woman, she'll have the opportunity to meet her first fellow human due to the pod being in need of repairs. Her parents left her in the pod when they realized there wouldn't be enough oxygen for the three of them to successfully complete the journey. In ORBITER 9, Helena has spent her entire life living in a space pod en route to a distant planet to rendezvous with colonists who have escaped from Earth's environmental near-destruction. Other issues may include: a parent essentially trades his unborn child's freedom for his lover, a lesbian couple talk about the issues surrounding fertility discrimination, parents willingly give up their children to be lab rats, a woman is shot up-close in the head. It is only after this occurrence that he begins to question the validity of the experiment as a whole, but even then, does nothing to right the wrong done to any of the other subjects except the one from his tryst. That being said, viewers may take offense with how the main relationship in the film is portrayed the scientist was well aware of the psychologically cruel conditions for the subjects beforehand, yet appears not to care at all, until he meets one, thinks she's hot, and ultimately sleeps with her out of pity. This is the only sex scene present, though the entire plot does revolve around the fact that a scientist had sexual relations with one of the experiments. There is minimal swearing, brief strong violence, and one implied sex scene wherein a woman hops on top of sleeping man and takes her top off-her bare back is shown. Parents need to know that out of all Netflix produced content, Orbiter 9 is probably among the cleanest.
