    Read the book a few months ago (called Mickey 7) - exactly the sort of book which is a great shout to adapt. The book itself is only alright, light easy fare, but the concept is quite interesting, and it seems like they're doing a good job of elevating the interesting aspects (hence the name change) and finding a better tone for it.

    My thoughts exactly, there's plenty to work with and nobody is gonna be complaining about elements being improved or changed.

    Looking forward to this. There is a lack of decent sci-fi films lately and Pattinson can be very impressive when he gets the right role.

    Absolutely loved this. Excellent black comedy/sci-fi that does veer into quite dark places at times. Pattinson gives a great performance and the cast in general is top notch. The commander is an obvious Trump parody, there are a couple of not so subtle hints, and his wife is based on HRC so it was a hoot seeing those two as an overly amorous power couple. Quite an off-the-wall sense of humour throughout that reminded me of the Fifth Element a bit. I would love to see more of this type of sci-fi to balance out the dead serious stuff.

    Some interesting and fun aspects as you would expect from a director of this calibre, but overall found the film a bit of a slog, especially the last act. Far from a mess, but disjointed and overly long. Probably one of Boon's weakest films unfortunately.

    Jesus that was awful drivel. Worst film I've seen in a long time.
